Bio

My hometown is Asansol, West Bengal in India. I attended Surendranath College, Kolkata under the University of Calcutta from where I completed my B.Sc. (H) in physics. Following this, I joined IIT Bhubaneswar as an M.Sc. student in 2018, and as a PMRF in 2020. 

Since my early days, I have been fascinated by mathematical ideas. I have many interests, which include classical and quantum mechanics of particles as well as fields; geometric methods in physics; thermodynamics and statistical physics of a large variety of systems, starting from nanoscale/mesoscopic systems to black holes. I also do have a passion for teaching, and interacting with younger students. 

Thermodynamics, as most of us know is the ''mother of all sciences'' and as Einstein once remarked, is a formulation about the natural world which shall ''never be overthrown'' by new ideas. Above all, thermodynamics and its underlying principles (statistical mechanics) are equipped with a very self consistent mathematical structure. I spend a lot of time working out or thinking about these mathematical formulations. Interestingly, the same mathematics is used in other areas of physics such as geometric mechanics, gauge theories, and even string theory. 

 When I am not doing physics, one can find me listenting to audiobooks, or reading (primarily about history), or perhaps just cooking.
