• Reporting to Reinier Van Mourik (Senior Scientist, Software & Data Science).
• Designing and implementing a physics-informed machine learning model to predict properties of accelerated electron bunches from laser and plasma parameters in laser-plasma wakefield accelerators.
• Building the associated data preprocessing and feature-engineering pipeline.
• Developing strategies for the model to handle day-to-day variation in accelerator operation, and an ML-assisted optimization loop to automate start-up and tuning of the accelerator.

• Conducting research with Prof. Nigel Goldenfeld on the statistical mechanics of turbulence and non-equilibrium phase transitions.
• Demonstrated that the laminar–turbulent transition in pipe flows with body forces is governed by tricritical directed percolation, published in Physical Review Letters.
• Currently working on problems related to wave turbulence, transitions to turbulence in shear flows, and stochasticity in turbulent fluids.

• Completed Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) in Engineering Physics with specialization in Nanoscience.
• Master's thesis: Topological Insulator–Superconductor Junctions under Prof. Hridis K. Pal.
• Conducted theoretical and computational work on superconductivity and topological quantum matter.

• Worked with Prof. Rajdeep Sensarma on electron–phonon equilibration within the Keldysh field-theoretic framework.

• Selected for the prestigious AScI International Internship Program.
• Investigated fluctuations in non-centrosymmetric superconductors under Dr. Alexander Zyuzin, studying the effects of spin–orbit coupling on thermodynamic observables.
• Extended this work into my bachelor's thesis, which also investigated odd-parity superconductors.

• Supervised by Dr. Sutanu Roy; studied Banach spaces, fixed-point theorems, and mathematical formulations of Google's PageRank algorithm.

• Developed a stochastic model to describe the laminar-to-turbulent transition as a non-equilibrium phase transition in flows with body forces.
• Predicted a tricritical fixed point governing turbulence in curved and heated pipes.
• Constructed a phase diagram linking body-force strength to directed-percolation universality classes.
• Provided scaling predictions for future experimental verification.

• Investigated self-consistent electron–phonon dynamics within the Keldysh formalism, beyond the standard static-bath approximation.
• Wrote extensive and modular Python (& Julia) codes for evolving the coupled system; tested constituents by connecting them to baths and studying equilibration characteristics from specific initial conditions.

• Extended Ginzburg–Landau theory to spin–orbit-coupled superconductors lacking inversion symmetry.
• Analyzed fluctuation effects on magnetic susceptibility and specific heat near critical temperature.

• Modeled superconductor–topological insulator and superconductor–metal junctions using quasi-classical Green's function methods to study critical temperature, critical fields, and the influence of surface states on superconductivity.
• Derived a non-local Ginzburg–Landau functional for the order parameter, and investigated the effects of topology in superconductor–topological insulator heterostructures.
