Sreenath K. Manikandan is a Reader at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Hyderabad. Before this, he was a researcher in theoretical physics at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA), Stockholm, Sweden, in the group of Prof. Frank Wilczek. Sreenath received his PhD in Physics from the University of Rochester in 2021 where he worked with Prof. Andrew N. Jordan and subsequently completed three years of the Wallenberg Initiative on Networks and Quantum Information (WINQ) fellowship at Nordita. Sreenath works broadly in theoretical quantum physics, with an emphasis on quantum technologies for fundamental and applied physics. His areas of research include quantum measurements and control, quantum sensing, quantum mechanics of sources and resonant detectors for quantized radiation fields, quantum thermodynamics, nanoscale quantum devices, quantum analogies, and tabletop tests for low-energy signatures of gravity in the quantum regime.
