About me

I am a theoretical physicist. I work in quantum field theory, mathematical Physics, particle physics, general relativity and string theory. I am an Associate Professor of Physics at the Department of Physics, Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi, Delhi -110007, India.  I have graduated (with Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) degree) in Physics from the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany in December 1993 under the supervision of  Prof Dr Harald J. W Mueller Kirsten  . From 1994 to 2001, I was first a Post Doctoral Research Associate and then a Senior Research Associate of  CSIR  at the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi, India.  From 2001 to 2002, I was a Post Doctoral Fellow at  the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. From 2003 to 2006, I worked as Lecturer in Physics in Delhi University Colleges. In March 2006, I joined as a permanent faculty at my present affiliation in the Department of Physics,Kirori Mal College , University of Delhi, Delhi-110007, India,  as Senior Lecturer, where I subsequently became a Reader in February 2007  and became an Associate Professor in February 2010 and eventually became a Professor of physics with effect from July 2019 at the same institute   I presently hold this position as a permanent faculty. Areas of my research interests are: theoretical high energy physics, quantum field theory, particle physics, general relativity, physics of compact boson stars and wormholes, string theory and D-branes. I am a field theorist by training. My research  includes topics on gauge symmetry and the instant-form and light-front quantization of several field theories and D-brane actions, using the Hamiltonian, path integral and BRST formulations. I am currently doing some cutting edge research (i) on the light-front quantization and discrete light-front quantization of several field theory models in various dimensions and (ii) on the study of compact boson stars and boson shells, black holes and wormholes in General Relativity and string theory. I am a recipient of the Gary McCarter Award   of the ILCAC Inc. for the year 2010. My name appears in the Marquis Who's Who in the World 2009-2017.  Some important web links related to me are:
