Broadly, I am interested in leveraging my expertise in causal inference, deep learning, and physics to address complex real-world problems, in particular ones that involve quantifying the ecological and socioeconomic impact of climate change. As a citizen of the Global South, I am also interested in exploring new financial and legal frameworks to facilitate the transition to a greener and more just future.

Academic Bio
I received my physics PhD from Brown in February 2021, where my research focused on phenomenological searches for dark matter — a problem that lies at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and probabilistic modeling. For Spring 2021, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics at Brown University for Spring 2021, in charge of designing and teaching the course “Statistical Physics of Inference and (Deep) Learning.”
Besides a Master’s degree in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, I also have extensive research experience working in diverse research environments in India and Europe. Namely, before starting my PhD, I was an IRCC Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, a PRISMA Fellow at the Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics, and a research scholar at the Institut de Physique Théorique, Saclay.
