Dr Aditya Sengar
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Bioengineering. I am a computational physicist and my research interest lies in the multiscale modeling of physical systems. In the group of Dr. Thomas Ouldridge, I will be working on the development of a DNA model to capture the kinetics and thermodynamics of DNA processes. With this, we aim to mimic information copying of nucleotides in DNA is to a new RNA polymer, and then into a sequence of amino acids in a protein.
I previously worked in the particle based modeling of chemical reactions in microreactors and macroreactors. I obtained my PhD cum laude working on this project in the Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands.
My other research interests are in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems, like pedestrian flow problems and biosensor modeling.

Our Faculties
Faculty of Engineering
The Faculty seeks to provide international leadership in engineering research and education and is widely recognised as a world leading engineering school. Our departments consistently excel in prominent league table rankings, while the College as a whole enjoys similar success.
Our Faculty is unique in the UK in supporting world class education and fundamental research across the full range of engineering disciplines.
All ten of our academic departments are located on a single campus in South Kensington, giving a concentration of talent that creates a stimulating and vibrant research culture, which promotes multidisciplinary collaborations and attracts internationally leading researchers and scholars.
Facuty of Medicine
The Faculty of Medicine is at the forefront of taking biomedical discoveries and translating them into the clinic - to the benefit of local patients and worldwide populations.
Our students benefit from our close connections with healthcare partners and multidisciplinary collaborations with the College's Faculties of Engineering, Natural Sciences and the Imperial College Business School. The combination of outstanding science, excellent staff and innovative teaching methods results in a truly world-class study experience.
Faculty of Natural Sciences
Together with our friends and colleagues in Engineering, Medicine and the Business School, the Faculty of Natural Sciences strives to produce the very best science and deploy it for the wider benefit of society. We are committed to both fundamental science and applications orientated research, seeing these as complementary parts of a common endeavour. We are very proud of our extensive collaborations with other academics and our colleagues in industry, here in the UK and across the globe.
Our amazing community of scholars, who are among the very brightest and best in the world, enables us to face the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Whether established professor, rising new academic or student, our diverse community comes together to find the best solutions.
