About Me 

 

I did MSc from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and PhD from Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. I worked as a Guest Scientist at Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany. Later I joined Physics Department of National University of Singapore (NUS) as a postdoctoral research fellow. Before joining BITS, I was in Center for Quantum Technologies, a  "research centre of excellence" inside NUS campus.

My research interests vary from time to time. I did my PhD in Quantum Chaos. Later I worked on Complex Network, Quantum Phase Transition, Quantum Information, Quantum Disordered Systems, etc. At present, I am working in an emerging interdisciplinary field called Quantum Biology. I am particularly interested to understand how migratory birds sense geomagnetic field and travel across the earth. In near future, I am planning to work on following topics: (1) quantum processes in photosynthesis; (2) charge transfer in DNA and its consequences in DNA damage.
