About
Professional Summary:
I have completed my Masters in Physics with specialization in Astrophysics, Cosmology, Laser and Spectroscopy in 2012 from University of Delhi, India. Next, I worked as Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for 3 years (Feb 2013–Feb 2016) at Atomic Physics laboratory of Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi, India. During this time, I been to Department of theory, Helmholtz Institute Jena – Germany from 1 June 2015 to 31 July 2015, for a 2 months research project under DAAD fellowship. Finally, in Aug 2016, I joined Guru Goind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), New Delhi, India as a Ph.D. scholar in applied physics.
Research Interests:
Atomic Physics: After accomplishing the theoretical work on atomic structure computations in Ph.D. our next work will be to evaluate the cross sections of prominent atomic processes such as radiative recombination, dielectronic recombination, photoionization, and Auger decay rates by using the wave functions from atomic structure calculations. To carry out these computations we will be learn-
ing a newly developed atomic code called Jena Atomic Calculator (JAC) by Prof. Stephan Fritzsche, Helmholtz-Institute Jena, Germany.
Plasma Physics: We are planning to do the passive spectroscopy of plasma of 2.45 GHz high charge injector (HCI) ion source at IUAC, New Delhi, India. Further, looking for some collaboration with different labs working on similar plasma diagnostic experiments using different sources such as EBIT, Ion traps and Laser produced plasma etc. Some simulation of micro discharge plasma like dielectric barrier discharge is also going on using COMSOL multi-physics software.
Nuclear Physics: Further, we have noticed that the strategy implemented in computations of atomic structure and atomic processes is also widely used in nuclear physics. The same theoretical framework is used to solve Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) equations to compute static nuclear structure and Time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to compute the nuclear reactions and giant resonances. So, by making use of our work experience in atomic physics, we are trying to explore interesting physics problems that are on the boundary of atomic and nuclear physics.
