I completed my PhD in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (2026) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, under the supervision of Prof. Rahul Marathe and Prof. Sankalpa Ghosh. My doctoral research focuses on quantum transport in graphene-based heterojunctions. In 2024, I published two works: one establishing an electronic analogue of Fourier optics with massless Dirac fermions, and another exploring the tunability of Josephson current in superconductor–graphene junctions. I also presented my work at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden.

Alongside my PhD, I worked in the Model Risk Management team at Morgan Stanley, Mumbai (2025). My role included validating financial models across domains such as Market Risk RWA and Prudent Valuation, as well as contributing to AI/ML model validations. This involved extensive diagnostic testing, sensitivity analysis, benchmarking, and outcome analysis.

Before my PhD, I completed an MSc in Physics (2017–2019) at IIT Delhi, where I developed a strong interest in theoretical physics and worked on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics for my master's thesis under Prof. Rahul Marathe. Prior to that, I earned my B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics (2012–2014) from Bangabasi College, where I was introduced to programming and computational approaches in physics, which shaped my long-term research interests in optics and condensed matter physics.

My academic journey began at Baluhati High School, where I completed my schooling up to Class XII (2014). It was here that my passion for mathematics and physics first took root. Early experiments in chemistry also taught me the joy of hands-on science, even though my path ultimately focused on physics and computation.

Beyond academics, I am deeply passionate about history, photography, and exploring historical places. These pursuits complement my scientific curiosity and give me new perspectives on culture, time, and human creativity.
