Career Profile
  1. PhD (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (2008-present)
  2. M.Sc. (Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur) (2006-2008)
  3. B.Sc. (Presidency Collge, Kokata) (2003-2006)
Research Interests My research interests focus on String Theory and in particular the AdS/CFT Correspondence, which is a theoretical framework for studying strongly-coupled gauge theories. More specifically, I am trying to study various aspects of strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma employing this Correspondence by mapping the gauge theory to an appropriate gravity dual.
