Hi!
I am Nita Parekh.If
you would like to know more about me, read on. I am an Indian, from Surat,
Gujarat. A major part of my education (high school, graduation, post-graduation
and M.Phil.) was carried out in Jabalpur (M.P., India). Then I moved on
to New Delhi where I did my Ph.d. from School
of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru
University. The Ph.d. thesis focussed on the phase ordering kinetics
of binary systems in presence of disorder and anisotropic fields. After
my Ph.d. I worked at the Chemical Engineering Division, National
Chemical Laboratory, Pune, where I stayed for a period of three years.
Here I worked on the characterization and control of spatiotemporal chaos
in chemical reaction-difusion systems. Then I moved to the Centre
for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad where I worked on the
control of spatiotemporal dynamics in biological systems, e.g., population
models, excitable systems.
Here
I was for two years and then moved to U.S. I worked for a year at the Center
for Theoretical and Computational Materials Science, National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST), Maryland, U.S.A. Here I worked on the
mechanical properties of polymer systems. I worked as a domain
specialist at the bioinformatics division of iLabs Ltd.,
Hyderabad, for about two years. Here my work involved mathematical modeling to develop
software products for biologists/bioinformaticians. At present I am a faculty at International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad.
