SHRADHA MISHRA, B Webb, EGD Cohen, (in preparation).
We look at (i) orientational and density fluctuations in the ordered phase, (ii) the way
in which density fluctuations evolve in a nematic background, and finally (iii) the coars-
ening of nematic order and the density field starting from a statistically homogeneous
and isotropic initial state. Our work establishes several striking differences between
active nematics and their thermal equilibrium counterparts.

Academic experience
Techniques
I use both numerical and analytical techniques to approach the problems in equi-
librium and nonequilibrium statitical mechanics.
Analyitcal Methods:
1. Writing down the coarse-grained hydrodynamics equations of motion, phenomeno-
logically using symmetry arguments.
8
2. Derivation of such equations of motion from rule based microscopic rules.
4. Variational methods.
Computational Skills
Good experience of writing codes using FORTRAN 77 and 90.
