Jay Shah
I am a Ph.D. student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware, advised by Prof. Arthi Jayaraman. My research integrates molecular modeling, atomistic and coarse-grained simulations, and machine learning to understand how molecular structure governs the dynamics and thermodynamics of next-generation polymeric materials.
I completed my B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar, where I worked with Prof. Raghavan Ranganathan and Prof. Kabeer Jasuja on computational and materials-focused projects.
My research interests span molecular simulations, polymer physics, and machine learning, with an emphasis on designing and understanding advanced soft materials.
