“Till now I had only heard, seen, moved—followed up and down where I was led or dragged… but now, I thought.”

—Charlotte Brontë

I am currently a PhD scholar at Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Delhi, India. My research is focused on developing cold atom based quantum hardware and efficient realization of quantum optimized algorithms.

I currently am finishing up my PhD at IIT Delhi, India, from the Department of Physics. I have worked at Cold Atom Quantum Technologies laboratory (CAQT lab) under the supervision of Dr. Bodhaditya Santra. My thesis work was focused on two topics: 1) Studying the dynamics of photons in optically thin cloud of cold atoms. And 2) Developing quantum optimization algorithms (Variational Quantum Eigensolver & Quantum Annealing based Travelling Salesman Problem).

I come from Kangra, a picturesque valley nestled in the foothills of the majestic Dhauladhar range of Himalayas. After completing my schooling from Kangra, I moved to Delhi and joined Hansraj College at University of Delhi for my BSc. Thereafter, I joined IIT Delhi for my MSc and subsequently PhD degrees.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by a deep curiosity about how the world works. Understanding the underlying principles of nature has always fascinated me, and this curiosity naturally evolved into a desire to explore scientific questions and share that understanding with others.

In addition to Physics, I also love learning about history. In my free moments, I’m usually absorbed in a book, enjoying meaningful time with friends, or expressing creativity through art.
