My name is Ankur Das. I was born and brought up in Kolkata, India. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at IISER, Tirupati, since March 2024. 

In graduate school (2015-2020), I worked with Prof. Ganpathy Murthy and Prof. Ribhu Kaul at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, on the effect of a magnetic field in monolayer Graphene (my thesis). After that, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel (2020-2024), with Prof. Yuval Gefen, working on Mesoscopic Systems and Quantum Hall Effect.

I am personally interested in various topics in theoretical Physics, like

• Quantum Hall Effect

• Mesoscopic Physics

• Topological Insulator

• Quantum Magnets

• Weyl Semimetals

• Topological classification of band defects

• Quantum Hall Interface

• Graphene and its electronic properties

• Renormalization Group.

I use both analytical and numerical methods to investigate questions related to the these topics.
