\r\n\r\nNitish is pursuing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Rochester. His research interests are in high-energy density hydrodynamics, and is co-advised by Hussein Aluie<\/a>. He is working on experiments and simulations on shock-particle interactions and perturbed shocks, using the FLASH and LILAC codes, and has PI'ed and co-PI'ed campaigns on OMEGA, OMEGA-EP, and the Jupiter Laser Facility. He is also a Frank J. Horton Graduate Research Fellow at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He previously earned a BE in Mechanical Engineering from Tribhuvan University in Nepal.\u00a0 Nitish gave an invited talk at the 14th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics (HEDLA) in 2024.\r\n
