About Me:
I am currently working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus. One of my primary research goals is to develop the science case for a deuterated liquid scintillator detector that can be indigenously built with resources and technology available in India. I am mostly interested in neutrino phenomenology with an eye on present and future detectors. I also work in areas related to dark matter and astroparticle physics.
