Theoretical Physicist

Exploring the quantum nature of spacetime and gravity

About Me

I am a theoretical physicist with expertise in quantum gravity, quantum information, and many-body physics. My research focuses on understanding the fundamental nature of spacetime and gravity through the lens of quantum mechanics.

Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (2013-2023) and as a Visiting Associate at the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA).

My work bridges multiple theoretical frameworks, particularly Loop Quantum Gravity and String Theory, seeking a unified understanding of quantum geometry.
