I am Aritra Ghosh, a Prime Minister's Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (IIT Bhubaneswar), India working on theoretical and mathematical physics. My dissertation involves computing logarithmic corrections to the black hole entropy, in a setting where the cosmological constant corresponds to a thermodynamic variable. Such corrections originate from thermodynamic fluctuations and are distinct from the ones obtained from Euclidean quantum gravity. 

I also work on some aspects of mathematical physics, statistical mechanics, open quantum systems, and also broader problems in semi-classical black hole thermodynamics.
