My name is Ashu Kushwaha, and I am currently a JSPS postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Teruaki Suyama at Department of Physics, Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology). Before that, I was a CEFIPRA (Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research) postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Rajeev Kumar Jain at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India. I did my PhD under the supervision of Prof. S. Shankaranarayanan at the Astronomy, Cosmology and Gravity Group,  Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. I received my postgraduate degree in physics from the School of Physical Sciences (SPS) at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Before that, I was an undergraduate at Ramjas College, Delhi University.

Apart from my academic pursuits, I have a keen interest in the arts and music. I am an avid painter and love expressing my creativity through vibrant, abstract, semi-abstract pieces. I often experiment with different techniques and styles to create unique and original works of art. In the recenlty completed 10-paintings series, I tried to explore a new version of cubism. Visiting art galleries and exhibitions is another one of my favourite hobbies. I find inspiration in the work of other artists and enjoy exploring their perspectives and interpretations of the world around us.

As a travel enthusiast, I enjoy exploring new destinations and experiencing different cultures. I believe that traveling is a great way to broaden our horizons and gain new perspectives on life. My travels have taken me to many beautiful and exotic places, and I have enjoyed immersing myself in the local customs, traditions, and way of life.

Lastly, I am an avid photographer and love capturing the beauty of the world around me. I find that photography is a great way to preserve memories and share my experiences with others. This also gives me a great idea for painting subjects.

Please check the artwork section if you wish to see some of my selected artworks. I hope you will enjoy that, if you want to make any comments, criticism, or suggestions, please send me an email (given at the bottom of this page). I would really appreciate that.

Unlike science, art has no mathematical notion of beauty. Consequently, individuals are free to interpret the art in their own manner. However, it is always good to understand the artist's intention.
