About the Faculty

Joined  the Physics Group at BITS  Pilani (Pilani Campus) in December 2001, where I  was associated with the Distance Learning Programme Division. I moved  to the Goa Campus in December 2004.

My research interests include Foundations of Quantum Theory, Quantum Information Theory, Mathematical Physics (formal quantization), Many-body Physics (multi-particle clusters, anyon physics, fractional statistics), and High Energy Physics (gravitation, string theory) 
I have also done some research on   the acoustic characteristics and construction mechanics of Indian musical instruments.
 
Passionate about physics teaching, I try out different methods of active learning and blended learning in my classes.
 
I've written a text book on Quantum Physics and Quantum Information addressed to undergraduate students, published by CRC Press in 2015

I have  an abiding interest in Indian Classical music as a vocalist and  play the Sarasvati veena.

I'm an avid bird-watcher, love painting and sketching and messing about in  gardening.
