Biography

Dr. Narender completed his joint M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree (in Physics) from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, India, in December 2021. He was a postdoctoral research fellow in the group of Prof. Raymond Kapral at the University of Toronto, Canada, from May 2022 to November 2023. Prior to joining JIIT Noida in January 2025, he conducted postdoctoral research in the group of Prof. Benedikt Sabass at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany.

Research Highlights

Dr. Narender's research is focused on the theoretical studies of problems in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics, Soft Matter Physics, Reinforcement Machine Learning, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Computational Physics. Specifically, his research interests vary from diffusion and separation of active- and passive Brownian particles in confined geometries, dynamics of nanomotors in chemically active environments, to reinforcement machine learning.
