I am an experimental physicist in the area of atomic and molecular physics. I am interested in visualising ultrafast molecular dynamics using laser Induce electron diffraction techniques (LIED) by measuring complete 3D momentum of all ejected electrons and fragmented ions in coincidence. Furthermore, we are also planning to utilized attosecond pulse-train (Nobel 2023) via higher-order harmonic generation process for investigating time-resolved molecular dynamics.

Since October 2023, I am working as an Assistant Professor in the School of Physics at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM). Below is the timeline of my research journey:
