Personal Bio

I'm Sohit, a G3 in the Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) program. I'm a mathematician by training and a biologist by passion. My first research project was during the summer of my third year in college when I interned at Novartis, where I discovered my love for computational biology. Originally from Delhi, India, the adjective that best describes me is 'caring.' I deeply care for my students and friends. My favorite thing about Princeton is the accessibility to knowledge and resources, which I see as a great privilege. I'm passionate about theater, biking, DIY projects, and reading. I'm more than happy to help with anything related to Princeton, research, grad school, finances, travel, mental health, or personal development.

Fun Fact

A fun fact about me is that one of my blog articles was featured on a Joe Rogan podcast. While I’m not a fan of Joe Rogan, I appreciated that he chose to highlight my article during his show. You can find it on episode #1760, starting at the 29th minute.

Research Pitch

I work with proteins, aiming to decipher the fundamental frameworks that govern their behavior. Since proteins are the main units responsible for most cellular activities, it is crucial to understand both their capabilities and weaknesses. I use theoretical and computational biophysics to model them and run simulations to predict protein activity at various temperatures. More importantly, being able to predict dysfunction in proteins ahead of time can lead to early diagnoses of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. I also leverage the latest developments in AI, such as large language models, to support my research and uncover insights from protein sequences that aren’t obvious to the naked eye.
