I am presently working as an Associate Professor in the Theory Division at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) in Kolkata, India. SINP was established by the eminent Indian scientist Prof. Meghnad Saha, and now functions as an institute for research in the basic sciences under the Department of Atomic Energy of the Govt. of India. Apart from the Theory Division dedicated to pursue research in various aspects of theoretical high energy physics, condensed matter and gravitational wave physics, SINP also houses several experimental divisions, pursuing experimental condensed matter, particle, nuclear and astroparticle physics, as well as chemical and biophysical sciences divisions. More can be found at the institute webpage here.
Between September 2021 and June 2024, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPHT) at the École Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France. École Polytechnique, part of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, is one of the most prestigious research institutes in France. It was established in 1794, with the original campus located in central Paris, while the present campus, inaugurated in 1976, is located on the Plateau de Saclay in Palaiseau. The CPHT is a joint research unit between the École Polytechnique and the French Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), which is the largest fundamental science agency in Europe. CPHT carries out cutting edge research in all frontier areas of modern theoretical physics. More details can be found at the CPHT's webpage here, and at the website of École Polytechnique here.
From September 2020 to August 2021, I was employed as a postdoctoral fellow at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I was part of the Quantum Fields and Strings group at Perimeter, which focuses on the formal aspects of theoretical high energy physics, particularly quantum field theory and string theory, in trying to understand the ultimate building blocks of the universe, and how they interact. Perimeter houses eight more research groups, each investigating a key area of current research at the cutting edge. More information can be found at Perimeter's homepage here.
From September 2017 to August 2020, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Victoria, located in the beautiful city of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. UVic is one of Canada's leading research-intensive universities. The theoretical physics group at UVic is actively involved in exploring modern research frontiers in particle and astroparticle physics, quantum fields and strings. Details about the research activities of the group can be found here.
