I am an experimental physicist interested in understanding how light interacts with matter at small enough length scales. I build microscopes which can probe such an interaction in Fourier space (Momentum space). Before joining IISER Bhopal as an assistant professor I was a postdoc in Romain Quidant's lab at ETH Zurich and Bill Barnes' lab at University of Exeter. My PhD focused on understanding how molecules interact with confined optical fields working with G V Pavan Kumar in IISER Pune. In addition to science I try my hands in poetry and story-writing in kannada.

My name is Rajat Yadav. I am from Luckow, Uttar Pradesh. Currently I am a first year Ph.D. student at IISERB. I did my Masters' degree from NIT Calicut. My thesis is on 'Light matter interaction at nanoscale'. I have some experience in computational work in Python and MATLAB. I am very passionate about understanding the behaviour of light at subwavelength scale. Apart from this I am an athlete: long distance runner(5K runner) and also love to listen to good music and a foodie.

My name is Anita Kumari. I am from Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. I hold a Masters' degreen in Physics from the University of Rajasthan. Currently I am a first year Ph.D. student at IISERB. My thesis is on 'Thermoplasmonics and applications'. Apart from this I love to travel and dance.

My name is Jyotiraditya S Chaterjee and I am from Surat, Gujarat. Currently a fifth-year physics major student at IISERB, specializing in a master's project on thermo-plasmonics of Nano films. Prior to this I have some experience in lab work in plasma physics and some computational experience in numerical simulations. I intend to learn more about the light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. Beyond academics, I am a pro Table Tennis player, I also enjoy activities like badminton, singing and in my free time delving into mythology.

I am Haripriya S ,MS thesis student from IISERB . I am from Kannur district of Kerala. My Master's project focuses on adaptive optics with phase engineering, utilizing concepts from genetic algorithms.This system helps to achieve high-resolution imaging in real-time for fields such as astronomy, microscopy, and vision science. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a keen interest in sports and dancing.
