Research Experience
- 2011-2015, at EPFL: worked on experiments in cryogenic cavity optomechanics studying various aspects of the quantum mechanical behaviour of a macrosocpic mechanical oscillator (supervised by Prof. T.J. Kippenberg)
- 2010-2011, at Imperial College: studied the quantum critical behaviour of a strongly coupled system of bosons, and showed that the ground state entanglement entropy serves as a probe of quantum phase transitions in such a system (supervised by Prof. M.S. Kim)
- 2010-2011, at the Max-Bonn Institute: studied the effects of correlated quantum noise in Hanbury-Brown-Twiss effect in atomic systems in the high-field regime (supervised by Prof. Misha Ivanov)
- 2010, at the Indian Institute of Science: designed and built a Zeeman-tuned Doppler cooling stage for pre-cooling a beam of Yb, to prepare it for loading into a MOT (supervised by Prof. Vasant Natarajan)
- 2009, at Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University: studied theories of fundamental phenomena with special emphasis on the role of symmetry-induced constraints and their spontaneous breaking (supervised by Prof. G. t'Hooft)
- 2008-2010, at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras: studied confinement resonances in the scattering of electrons from nanotubes; these resonances were identified as quasi-bound states of whispering gallery modes of electrons (supervised by Prof. Pranawa C. Deshmukh)
- 2008-2010, at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras: studied theoretical aspects of the problem of the phase operator in quantum optics; proposed a hermitian phase operator valued measure which corresponds operationally to the interferometrically measured phase (supervised by Prof. M.V. Satyanarayana)
