I am a quantum condensed matter theorist in the Department of Physics at IIT Bombay. My research focuses on studying quantum phenomena on macroscopic scales. A central theme of my work is understanding the role of topology in quantum matter, with a particular focus on topological phases and the transitions between them.

In a closely related area, I also study unconventional quantum metals in 2+1 dimensions, which still remain poorly understood despite extensive research. By employing both numerical simulations and analytical techniques, my goal is to advance our understanding of these complex and challenging systems.

I joined IIT Bombay recently as an Assistant Professor. Before coming here, I was a doctoral student at Stanford University, a postdoc at Princeton University and University of Chicago. See my CV for more details.
