Profile Summary 

I am an experimental physicist working on strongly correlated electron systems in condensed matter physics. More specifically, I am interested in “quantum materials”. We synthesize new materials that can host exotic quantum states and then employ Muon Spin Rotation / Relaxation (µSR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to investigate microscopic static and dynamic properties.

I have started my research journey by pursuing Ph. D. from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics. Afterwards, I spent several years as a post-doctoral researcher, starting at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Germany and then moved to the University of Tokyo, Japan. Finally, I was doing my post-doc at the University of Augsburg, Germany.
