The best way to communicate with me is via email at koushik***iiserkol.ac.in. The official letter can be sent to the following address:

Department of Physical Sciences

West Bengal, India

Ph.D. Thesis:

If you like to do a Ph.D. thesis with me, you must apply formally through the IISER, Kolkata Ph.D. application program. You can find the application details from the IISER, Kolkata website, and usually, the applications are open twice a year.

MS Thesis:

I ONLY supervise MS thesis for IISER, Kolkata BS-MS students. I might make prospective topics for the thesis available here. Please be in touch with me for more details. If you are considering the possibility of me being your supervisor, for now, you fill up this google form.

Postdoctoral Works:

Any interested candidate who has overlapping research interests with my research, and would like to apply for any national fellowship, please get in touch with me via email to discuss further.

Project Works:

In modern-day academia, "project" is the most overrated word. I do NOT take ANY student during the Summer or Winter break for short-term projects unless those are through any institutional or national programs. In this regard, if you write an email, please do NOT expect necessarily any reply. Moreover, I am not so enthusiastic about supervising any IISER student for any project unless it is in the formal program of the IISER, Kolkata curriculum.
