Minkush completed his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Guwahati, India. During this period, he developed an interest in fluid dynamics and subsequently moved to the Netherlands to pursue master’s in Fluid Physics at University of Twente. There he worked at the Physics of Fluids group under the supervision of Jacco Snoeijer for his master’s thesis and, later, for his PhD. Minkush has broadly worked on theoretical modelling of problems involving soft matter, like capillary instability of soft solids and wetting flows of viscoelastic fluids. He is currently working on understanding interactions between the diffusion barrier in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the capsid of HIV. Along with research, Minkush also likes to follow stand-up comedy, perform in open-mic events and explore local culture and events.
