Bio

Abrar Bhat is a postdoctoral researcher in the Dunn Research Group of the Chemical Engineering department. His current research interest lies in understanding the biophysical mechanisms that govern the organization and function of neuronal synapses within the human brain.

During his Ph.D. at NCBS, TIFR, Bangalore, Abrar applied a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the organization of the cell membrane using principles drawn from active-matter physics.
