Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSwarnavo Sarkar is a computational biologist and research faculty based in Washington, DC, with nine years of research experience applying thermodynamics and information theory to biological systems. He bridges deep quantitative training from a PhD in Civil Engineering at Cornell and a B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur with hands-on computational science developed across NIST and academic labs. His work spans stochastic reduced-order modeling, ab-initio surface calculations, and the thermodynamic inference of biological processes, highlighting an uncommon blend of materials-science methods and systems biology. At Georgetown Lombardi he translates theoretical frameworks into cancer-relevant computational models, building on a long tenure at NIST where rigorous standards and reproducible computation were central. Comfortable writing and running complex simulations, he pairs theoretical insight with practical code to probe how microscopic energetic constraints shape macroscopic biological behavior. Colleagues value him for combining multidisciplinary curiosity with a disciplined, measurement-driven approach to hard biological questions.
