Bio

I'm a PhD student (started Oct 2020) at the Max Planck institute for the physics of complex systems in Dresden, Germany. Before coming to Germany, I did my Msc in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford. I did my Bsc in Physical Sciences from Yale-NUS College, Singapore.  I grew up in Kolkata, India and finished all my schooling from St. Xavier's Collegiate School, Kolkata.

Research:

I am interested in condensed matter theory (CMT) research, especially aspects related to quantum transport, quantum dynamics, strongly correlated physics and some intersections of  CMT and AMO physics.  I have previously worked (and am currently working) on the following projects:

• Non-equilibrium dynamics of lattice gauge theories and disorder-free localization - with Roderich Moessner,  and Markus Heyl

• Magnon transport as a probe of spin structure in quantum Hall systems - with Benoit Doucot and Roderich Moessner

• Domain Wall Hartree Fock calculations for Twisted Bilayer Graphene (TBG) - with  Steve Simon,  Sid Parameswaran and their group members.

• Transport and hydrodynamics in graphene systems (Monolayer, Bilayer and TBG) - with Shaffique Adam, Giovanni Vignale and other members of Prof. Adam's group

• Renormalization group calculations to study dissipative dynamics in quantum systems - with Fabian Grusdt, Jamir Marino and his graduate student.

• Light curve modelling for a type 1a Supernova - with Bryan Penprase and two of my classmates from Yale-NUS.

Non-academic interests:

Besides physics I am also extremely passionate about the following:

• Sports (especially Football - huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan, and Tennis - huge Nadal fan)

• Politics (how can you not be when you're from India!)

• Food (Again, very hard not to be a foodie, when you're from my part of India)
