    High Energy Physics (Theory)  

     
     
    I work in the area of theoretical High Energy Physics. Understanding bound states within the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics is ofparticular interest to me. Towards this, my work focussed on combining lattice gauge theory formulation within the light front framework to build a model for understanding mesonic structure within QCD. The major part of my work can be found here: https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-lat/0508020

    High Energy Physics (Phenomenology), Astrophysics & Cosmology
     
    I am a Theoretical High Energy Physicists. I work in area of High Energy Physics(Phenomenology), Astrophysics & Cosmology.  In particular, I look for the signatures for New Physics (Extra Dimension, space-time noncommutativity etc)  at high energy colliders. I also work in dark matter and dark energy physics, in particular, the role of dark matter in astrophysics and looking for it at high energy colliders. Recently, I am working in project problem of black hole merger, gravitational wave production and its detection.

    My research work during PhD period was on polynomially deformed Lie algebras and their representations. It is found that those algebras contains both finite and infinite dimensional representations.We have obtained a way of generating these algebras from the usual Lie algebras by a generalization of the Jordan Schwinger formulation of Sl(2) algebra.This helps to classify a special class of deformed algebras and withdifferent(not all) representations.I have also worked in topological defects formations in the context of baryon formatioy a special class
    of deformed algebras and with different(not all) representations.I have also worked in topological defects formations in the context ofbaryon formation in heavy ion collisions and the non-commutative space field theories. Currently I am working on Renormalizable Quantum
    Field Theories in Lifshitz type space times.

    Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors
     
    Research work(in brief): We are working on broadly two areas: One is transition metal doped wide band gap oxide semiconductors (diluted magnetic semiconductors, DMS) and their applications and the other is semiconducting thin films for photovoltaic applications.  We synthesize magnetic semiconducting nanoparticles using a simple chemical precipitation technique. The thin films are deposited by DC sputtering and thermal evaporation. The properties in both cases are investigated by various techniques like XRD,UV - Visible absorption, conductivity measurements, XPS, Raman,  Photoluminescence, ESR, EXAFS, VSM, SQUID measurements etc. The possible applications of these samples are also explored.

    Currently our group is working on synthesis and characterization of metal oxide and transition metal dichalcogendies (TMDC) nanostructures. We synthesize metal oxide nanorods using template assisted electrodeposition and hydrothermal technique. The as synthesized nanorods are then investigated for their transport and gas sensing properties. In the case of TMDCs, we mechanically exfoliate materials such as MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2 onto glass, ITO and Silicon substrate and study their field effect, photovoltaic and transport properties.

    One of my current interests is in computational neuroscience where I am trying to understand auditory neuron tuning curves using simple integrate and fire models. I am also studying the depinning phenomenon, particularly the depinning of the 2D partially pinned solid (formed in the presence of a square substrate) and the associated phenomenon of peak effect. I am also interested in physics pedagogy. Some of my recent works involves mechanics of a particle on a rotating table in the presence of friction and an alternative geometric proof for the Euler's rotation theorem.

    Condensed Matter Physics (Theory)
     
    I work in the area of theoretical and computational condensed matter physics which involves research in the interdisciplinary field of materials science, physics and chemistry. The goal of my research group is to design and search new materials for various applications such as energy storage, electrode for metal-ion batteries and straintronics; studying the origin of various physical phenomenon in materials; modification of materials properties; evolution of microstructures; defects, interfaces and doping of bulk and nano materials. We use first principles based density functional theory (DFT) for our research. Various well established codes are available for this purpose. Our expertise also extends to beyond DFT methodologies for band gap correction, phonon dispersion and transport properties. Code development is another research area of my interest, being one of the members to develop a new theoretical method (first principles based phase field method) to simulate evolution of microstructures in an alloy without any thermodynamic parameter. The research group is equipped with a high performance computing cluster and scientific packages for DFT calculation.

     My current area of research is experimental soft matter physics and programmable self-assembly. I am interested in making flexible micro-objects using colloidal particles as building blocks, and stitching them together with a host of specific, programmable interactions ranging from DNA nanotechnology to magnetic interactions to chemical interactions between patchy particles. I am also interested in understanding the physics of anomalous diffusion in crowded systems that mimic biological environments. Here we use colloidal particles as probes. Additionally, I am interested in understanding and measuring the weak biological interactions (protein-protein, peptide-peptide) that are behind several vital processes in our bodies. Finally, we aim to self-assemble biomimetic nanomaterials for a wide range of applications such as developing superhydrophobic materials and efficient electron and X-ray emitters. Our area of work is interdisciplinary, encompassing expertise across the fields of physics, chemistry and biology.

    The group has interest in different aspects of Quantum Optics, laser spectroscopy and microscopy, nonlinear optics, and its applications in various fields. Currently we are putting our efforts on developing different optical microscopic techniques suitable for biomolecular imaging. These include confocal fluorescence microscopy, multi-photon microscopy and phtotothermal microscopy using metallic nanoparticles as bimolecular label. Recently we developed a two-photon excitation based photothermal microscope which is capable of detecting single BaTiO3 nanoparticle labels with high sensitivity. We use the confocal and multiphoton microscopes to study biomolecular transport so as to understand the mechanism of transport through nuclear membranes. We hope to use the photothermal microscope for live tracking of biomolecules in a cell nucleus.

    My interests are primarily in the area of theoretical nuclear physics. I have specifically worked on spin-dependence of nuclear reactions, which are also of experimental interest. We employ invariance (symmetry) arguments to elucidate the spin-structure of the reaction matrix elements. Our formalism, which is model-independent, not only leads to exact expressions for the spin-structure of the transition matrix elements, but also to expressions for the partial-wave amplitudes, relevant for all energies of interest.  These expressions are of immense relevance for the experimentalists and also to theoretical physicists who want to validate their model-calculations.  Recently, I have joined the international collaboration, "PANDA" (antiProton ANnhilations at DArmstadt). PANDA is one of the major experiments at the future FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) facility at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany.  PANDA has a wide range of physics programmes, involving antiproton-proton and antiproton-nucleus collisions.  A study of these collision processes are expected to extend our knowledge on hadron structure, quark-gluon dynamics and nuclear physics.
