Biographical sketch:

I obtained my Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Kanpur in 2003 in the area of High Energy Physics(Phenomenology).  After that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harish-Chandra Research Institute(HRI), Allahabad from 2002 to 2004, Chung-Yuan Christian University, Taiwan from 2004 to 2005 and the Institute of Mathematical Science(IMSc), Chennai from 2005 to 2007. I joined the Physics department of BITS Pilani, K K Birla campus in July 2007.
 
Teaching:
  • In the summer 2025, I am teaching the course Statistical Mechanics (PHY F312).
  • In the Semester II, 2024-25, I have taught two courses: (i) General Theory of Relativity & Cosmology and (ii) Particle Physics. 
  • In the last semester (Semester 1, 2024-25), I have taught the following courses:  (i) Quantum Mechanics for Engineers(PHY F345) and (ii) Quantum Theory and Applications(PHY G514)  (To know more about my Teaching, click at Teaching).  
 
Research interests: 
 
I work in the areas of Cosmology, Astrophysics, and High Energy Physics.  I am interested in (i) Looking for the signatures of New Physics (e.g. dark matter, extra dimension(s)) in ground-based and astrophysical laboratories, (ii) On early universe cosmology - inflation, modified gravity theories,  (iii) Gravitational wave and its detection and (iv) Quantum Entanglement, Q-Memory. A quick overview of the group research activities is available  here(click)
