I am a third-year DPhil student in the Particle Theory group, working under the guidance of Prof. John March-Russell. My research interests range over a spectrum of topics in high energy physics including working and understanding on formal development of the theories as well as the looking at their phenomenological aspects.
One of my current research topics include theoretical and phenomenological aspects of First Order Phase Transitions in strongly coupled theories. This is closely related to the long-standing question of having a better understanding of confinement. Phenomenologically, these types of transitions are relevant for various Beyond the Standard Model Physics scenarios and are associated with possible detection (or ruling out particular models) of gravitational wave signatures in future detectors. Further, I am also working on other phenomenological questions in the early universe including topics related to particle production, axion physics etc.
My research at Oxford is funded by Somerville College and Clarendon Fund via the Oxford Ryniker Lloyd Graduate fellowship jointly with Clarendon Scholarship.
Before starting my DPhil, I completed my masters in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at Oxford. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelors (BTech) in Engineering Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Guwahati, India.
