Thanks for stumbling upon this place. I am Ranit, currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Currently I make granular rafts (instead of cereal, I sprinkle small glass beads on water) and then poke them, force them through funnels or press them against a wall; all to see how they fail. I have been an experimental engineer/physicist from the time I joined Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, USA), where I eventually got my PhD from. In the next section, I have listed the projects I have been a part of. But if you are a TL,DR kind of person, I am curious about Soft Matter problems on the interfaces.
