"Quantum mechanics as it stands would be perfect if we didn’t have the quantum-gravity issue and a few other very deep fundamental problems.
Hi, I'm Dripto, an MSc. graduate in Physics from NISER, Bhubaneswar, India. I am currently a PhD student at the Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Turin, Italy. My primary interests are in theoretical physics involving classical and quantum gravity, string theory and holography. Welcome to my personal website!

About Me
About Me
I originally hail from the city of Kolkata, India. I attended the South Point School and South Point High School for 15 years in total, from primary to higher-secondary level !! After clearing the CBSE board exams, I decided to pursue a career in physics. I recently graduated from NISER, Bhubaneswar, under the aegis of the Dept. of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India, having been supported by an annual stipend of INR 60k and a contingency grant of INR 20k as part of the DST-INSPIRE Fellowship, awarded by the Dept. of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. I have also recently joined a 3-year PhD program in Theoretical Physics (mainly string theory) at the University of Turin, Italy.
My current research interests mainly include, but are not limited to, string theory, quantum field theory, differential geometry and AdS/CFT holography. For more details about my projects, please visit the Projects page.
