I am a theoretical physicist working on astro-praticle physics and high energy physics. I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Physics, Pennsylvania State University with Prof. Kohta Murase as my mentor. I completed my Ph.D. in Physics at Arizona State University (2018 - 2022) , where I worked with Prof. Cecilia Lunardini (advisor) and Prof. Tanmay Vachaspati. I completed my undergrad (Bachelor of Science - Physics (Honors)) at St. Stephen's College, University of Delhi (2015 - 2018).
Research Interests
My research interests in astro-particle physics include: multi-messenger astronomy, neutrino physics, phenomenology of astrophysical neutrinos, gravitational waves (GWs), and dark matter. In particular, I have worked on core collapse supernovae, supernova neutrinos, pre-supernova neutrinos, gravitational wave memory effect, high-energy astrophysical phenomena (tidal disruption events, magnetars from binary neutron star mergers, gamma-ray bursts).
I am also interested in high energy physics, cosmology, field theory: quantum fields in time-dependent backgrounds and backreaction - particle production; early universe cosmology, topological defects - kinks, vortices, monopoles, solitons; kink antikink collisions.
A list of my published works can be found at Inspire and arXiv. A list of my works with brief descriptions can also be found in the Publications section of this website.
