Having grown up in Kirnahar, a village in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, I developed an early interest in understanding the physical world through curiosity and self-driven learning. I pursued my Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, followed by a Master’s at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, where I was first introduced to quantum information.

I obtained my PhD from Physical Research Laboratory (degree conferred by Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar), working on quantum phase transitions of ultracold atoms in low-dimensional traps and optical lattices. This led to a broader interest in cold-atom quantum simulations of strongly correlated synthetic quantum matter.

Following a brief postdoctoral stint at PRL Ahmedabad, I joined the Pitaevskii BEC Center at the University of Trento, a renowned institute for cold-atom research, where my research expanded towards non-equilibrium universal dynamics, quantum chaos, and quantum simulation of complex many-body models such as the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model. This work connects to the broader theme of quantum simulations of novel quantum matter, including systems with holographic features. I subsequently held a postdoctoral position at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, further exploring questions at the interface of quantum statistical mechanics and quantum information.

My current research focuses on understanding how complexity emerges in quantum many-body systems — ranging from quantum simulations of novel quantum matter to more abstract settings involving quantum chaos, thermalization, and non-Hermitian dynamics. I joined Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram in April, 2026, where I am building a research program (Quantum Simulation & Synthetic Quantum Matter — SynQSim group) at the intersection of quantum many-body physics and quantum information.
