I am an experimental condensed matter physicist. We work on different projects with a primary motivation to investigate magnetic, multiferroic, and energy materials. Specifically, we investigate correlated quantum materials and coupled d-f systems, Hybrid organic-inorganic frameworks and low-dimensional materials.  We have investigated spin-dipole coupling and given a route how to achieve ME coupling by suitably design multifunctional material. During my PhD in TIFR, we developed transport probe to study magnetoelectric properties.  Afterwards in my postdoc in University of Minnesota, we developed an cryogenic insert to study the ionic control of materials where one can tune the physical properties of materials by applying a small voltage through  ionic liquid creating an electrolyte double layer capacitor.  Our current research focuses on developing and investigating new quantum materials through different microscopic techniques, such as, synchrotron X-ray and  Neutron diffraction (ND), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) and muon spectroscopy (muSR). Recently, we have  experimentally shown (employing ND and INS technique) how spin-relaxes through Orbach process and Quantum tunnelling  between degenerate (bi-stable) ground state in a single-ion-magnet, operating as a quantum qubit.

Mostly we collaborate with various large-scale facilities to perform such high-level experiments, such as,  BARC, RRCAT & UGC-DAE CSR (India), Oak Ridge National Lab (USA), ISIS Facilities (UK), SOLEIL & ILL (France), and Jparc & KEK (Japan). My research group is dedicated to understand the underlying mechanism of different quantum phenomenon employing  these microscopic techniques as well basic theoretical modelling. 

Currently, we have started working on Machine-learning framework. Our INS and muSR results will be complemented with AI/ML technique
