I am interested in developing and applying theoretical methods to simulate chemical dynamics. The dynamical interplay of entangled protons and electrons lies particularly close to my heart. Towards that end, I am working on projects related to non-adiabatic dynamics and nuclear tunnelling.

Abhijeet PachouriPh.D. Scholar (2025 onwards)
I am a PhD researcher with a keen interest in applying quantum dynamics to understand and model various chemical processes. My academic focus lies in exploring how fundamental principles of quantum mechanics can provide deeper insights into chemical reactions and molecular behavior. Outside of research, I enjoys playing chess, which sharpens my strategic thinking, and swimming, which helps me to maintain balance and focus.

Shambhavi Verma
Ph.D. Scholar (2025 onwards)I am a first year PhD in the quantum dynamics lab. I am currently working towards developing methods to better approximate non-adiabatic dynamics. When not immersed in equations and simulations, I find expression through dance and love wandering across different worlds hidden within novels.

Soumya SahaBS 3rd year
Hello, I am Soumya Saha, a third year undergraduate student in the chemistry department of IIT Bombay. I really like doing mathematical operations and that is the reason why I choose the path of theoretical chemistry( also because I don't really like endless exceptions of inorganic and organic chemistry ). Outside academics, I do graphic designing. I am also a big fan of science fiction- whether it's books, movies or especially the Marvel Universe. And yes, I do indulge in the YouTube shorts binge too!

Dipudurga MurmuMSc , 2nd year
Hi, I’m someone with a strong curiosity for science, especially quantum chemistry. I enjoy exploring how the microscopic world of atoms, molecules, and wave functions connects to real-world chemical behavior. I like learning and thinking deeply about concepts such as quantum mechanics, molecular orbitals, and how theory meets experimental chemistry.
