My research is focused on developing mathematical model of biological systems and predicting the long-term behavior. I implement qualitative approach of modeling such as nonlinear dynamics, stochasticity, game theory to get insights of dynamical systems. Currently, I am working on antibiotic drug-resistance and developing models to understand the influence of social and econimc factors in the emergence and selection of resistant strain. The complex dynamical behavior of the system arising out of these socio-economic effects is one of the key motive to explore in these studies.
