Bio
Broadly, Nitin's research interests lie at the intersection of physics, behavioral science and applied math. At Plaksha, he aims to work towards - (i) developing practical solutions for senior care using a combination of analytical methods, technology and field work, and (ii) mathematical modeling of the emergence of choice in decision making. In addition, he continues to learn the physics of many body systems where a lot of fascinating stuff happens from the interplay of non-linearities, disorder and non-equilibrium.
