Home About Me Research Publications

I work at the boundary where fundamental physics meets modern machine learning, building tools and methods that help us see deeper into the very fabric of matter. Below is a brief timeline of my career so far.

2025 — Present Current

Postdoctoral Researcher

Institute of Theoretical Physics (ITP) & Institute of Experimental Particle Physics (ETP), KIT, Germany

I currently hold a joint postdoctoral position between the Institute of Experimental Particle Physics (ETP) and the Institute of Theoretical Physics (ITP) at KIT, working in the groups of Prof. Dr. Markus Klute and Prof. Dr. Michael Spannowsky. I work on developing novel statistical and machine learning tools, including quantum machine learning, for a deeper understanding of jet substructure.

2022 — 2025

Doctoral Researcher

Institute of Experimental Particle Physics (ETP), KIT, Germany

My doctoral work explored the use of classical and quantum machine learning for discovering signatures of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider, with a particular focus on the CMS Detector. I was supervised by Alexander von Humboldt Prof. Dr. Markus Klute and collaborated closely with Dr. Benedikt Maier (Schmidt AI Fellow, Imperial College London).

I graduated with distinction, with my dissertation receiving the highest possible grade of summa cum laude, and I was subsequently nominated for both the KIT Doctoral Prize and the DPG Otto Haxel Prize.

2017 — 2022

BSc (Hons.) and MSc in Physics

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP), India

I studied Physics in Kharagpur, the site of the very first Indian Institute of Technology established in 1952, over five years, graduating with a Master's degree. During this period I was a summer student at CERN (2020) and DESY (2021).
