Hi! I'm Yashab
I work on understanding the mechanobiology of the cell using
mathematical and computational modelling.
Welcome to my online space which serves as my portfolio, notes
collection, project showcases and other random stuff.
About Me
I am a PhD student in the Department of Physics at Lehigh University working on
computational and mathematical models of cellular
mechanobiology. My research focuses on how mechanical forces
emerge from cytoskeletal dynamics, with recent work on actin
comet tail motility and force generation driven by F-actin
nucleation.
I specialize in building mechanistic simulations that connect
physical models to experimental observables. My work routinely
involves numerical methods, stochastic simulations, data
analysis, and visualization, with an emphasis on model clarity,
reproducibility, and interpretability.
I am comfortable working across theory, code, and data, and I
enjoy translating complex physical ideas into efficient
computational workflows. Most of my development is in Python and
C++, supported by scripting, automation, and visualization tools
tailored to research-scale problems.
In parallel with research, I have taught introductory physics
courses and laboratories, where I focus on building intuition
and helping students become confident with quantitative
reasoning.
I earned my Master’s degree in Physics from IIT Jodhpur and my
Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Delhi,
India.
