• 

  Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

  Aug 2017 - Jan 2019

  Undergraduate Student Researcher

  • Examined the effects of adding noise in the intrinsic parameters of 100 globally coupled linear oscillators by simulating them in MATLAB.• Validated the existence of resonance by analyzing the system dynamics obtained from averaging 5000 time series.• Quantified the resonance using a coherence factor built from the Fourier spectra of the time series.• Scrutinized a reduced model of the system and explained the resonance using bifurcation diagrams.
