Welcome to my homepage! I am an Assistant Professor at Physics Department, IIT Ropar. My research focuses on two main areas: first, exploring how light can be manipulated using nano- and microscale structures, and second, developing advanced optical techniques to investigate innovative optical phenomena.
In specific, our research direction is the study the light manipulation/modulation and its dynamics, using various systems consisting of newly emerging materials (such as high-index Topological insulators, phase change materials). We explore the potential of unique structures, including curved-space metallic systems and metasurfaces, to enhance light modulation in nano- and microscale systems. our studies address the important implications and the applications such as wave guiding, deflection (prisms), focusing, steering in nanoscale dimensions. In addition, our prospective project also includes the development of compact methods for the advanced imaging and sensing applications.
I completed my doctoral program at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune in 2017. The doctorate research work investigate the "Coupled Plasmonic Nanowires: Dual Channel Fourier Microscopy Studies" under the guidance of Prof. G V Pavan Kumar. Also, I completed my undergrad and master education in 2007-2012 from IISER Pune.
