Welcome to my webpage! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics at the S.N. Bose National Center for Basic Sciences, Kolkata, India.

Before joining the S.N. Bose Center, I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Physics at Northeastern University (Boston), in Prof. Arun Bansil's group. I completed my Ph.D. from the Department of Physics, IIT Kanpur, India, under the supervision of Prof. Amit Agarwal.

I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist with expertise in modeling material-specific properties related to topology, quantum geometry, transport, plasmons, and optical response of quantum materials. I use density function theory (DFT) based first-principles techniques, material-specific tight-binding methods, and analytical modeling to discover, understand, and engineer material properties (for details, please refer to the Research page).
