 "Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world."  Louis Pasteur 

By training, I am a Theoretical Physicist and my interest ranges from small-scale high-energy and quantum physics to large-scale gravitational physics. I work in the areas of High Energy Physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology. Looking for the signature of new physics in high energy particle interactions at colliderand astrophysical laboratories and finding answers to some pressing issues of early universe cosmology, e.g. inflationary expansion, non-singular bouncing, and emergent cosmology, primordial gravitational waves interests me. In particular, I am interested in

1. Early Universe Cosmology - inflation, dark energy, modified gravity theory, and gravitational wave.
2. Collider and astrophysical signatures of Dark matter.
3. Quantum entanglement and its applications in Cosmology, High Energy Physics, and Condensed Matter
Physics.

My research interests:   I work in the area of High Energy Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology. In particular, I am interested in BSM physics - astrophysical and collider signature of dark matter and dark energy.
