Awadhesh did his schooling at The Mother's International School (1994-2006). He then joined the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, which was just across the road. In 2010, he graduated with a B. Tech. in Engineering Physics. The same year he moved to Dublin to join the group of Prof. Stefano Sanvito at Trinity College Dublin. After completing his PhD in 2014, he spent two years (2015-2016) as a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute for Condensed Matter Theory at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. From January 2017 to March 2019 he was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich in the group of Prof. Nicola Spaldin.
Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Science and an Associate Editor of Physical Review B.
