Résumé

"The more you know, the more you realize how little you know."

A warm welcome to my webpage!

I work in Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad as an Assistant Professor.

I am mostly involved in the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and interactions between them. I have been closely associated with the Belle experiment since 2011.

Belle detector was located at the interaction region of e+ e− collider in KEK, Japan and recorded world’s largest e+ e− collision data at several Upsilon resonances. Based on success operation of the Belle experiment, the KEKB is upgraded to the SuperKEKB collider, which is designed to give 40 times larger instantaneous luminosity than its predecessor. The Belle detector has also been significantly upgraded to the Belle II detector to achieve the desired physics goals. I have also contributed in the development and commissioning of a particle identification detector for the Belle II experiment which relies on imaging time-of-propagation measurements.

At present, I am pursuing searches for any possible hints of new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics particularly in the rare decays of B−mesons. For this, I analyze billions of B−mesons recorded at Belle and on the other hand looking forward to even larger upcoming Belle II data.

As Belle II is on its way to record its unprecedented data, meanwhile I study the performance of its sub-detectors especially particle identification devices.
