• B.Sc.: University of Rajasthan Jaipur, Rajasthan (2017)

• M.Sc.: Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2020)

• Ph.D.: IIT (ISM) Dhanbad (December 2021 - present)

• Research Interests: My research focuses on collective excitations and giant resonances in highly-deformed nuclei, based on inelastic alpha-scattering measurements conducted at RCNP, Japan. Furthermore, I am also interested in stuyding fission isomers, produced by in-flight fragmentation processes.
