I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist working on quantum geometry-driven charge, spin, and orbital transport and optical phenomena in quantum materials. I completed my Ph.D. at IIT Kanpur, India, under the supervision of Prof. Amit Agarwal, and I am continuing there as a FARE Fellow.

Research Directions

Currently, I am interested in the following research directions, while remaining open to exploring other emergent physics in quantum materials. Full descriptions are on the Research page.

Direction 1

Higher-order quantum geometry driven nonlinear transport and optics

Direction 2

Correlated quantum geometry and superconducting transport

Direction 3

Spin, orbital, and altermagnetic responses
