My research explores hidden order and emergent phenomena in strongly correlated quantum materials. I use analytical many-body theory, symmetry-based modeling, and effective Hamiltonian approaches to study spin-orbit-entangled Mott and Kondo systems, quantum magnets, unconventional superconductors, and topological materials. A central goal of my work is to uncover how multipolar, superconducting, magnetic, and topological orders arise from microscopic interactions, and how they can be detected through experimentally accessible probes such as spectroscopy, transport, magneto-electric response, and light-matter coupling. Recent work focuses on multipolar multiferroicity, light-driven octupolar order, axionic response in topological Kondo insulators, and new frameworks for classifying unconventional superconducting orders. I am a member of the research collaboration in University of Greifswald, Germany. Please follow our group link for more details about our mainstream research agenda

Academic History

After my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in India, I did my PhD in Nordita, Stockholm. During my PhD, I explored the role of weak correlation in Dirac materials. After this, I joined University of Augsburg, Germany as a postdoctoral candidate and worked on the underdoped regime of cuprates superconductors. This followed two short terms postdoctoral positions in Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, and Rutgers University, New Jersey. During these periods until now, I have been exploring various emergent phases and functionalities in strongly correlated materials.
