My independent physics problem-solving work spans classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and statistical mechanics. I work through multi-step questions by identifying the relevant concepts, setting up equations, and checking calculations and final answers.

I also practice reviewing solutions for conceptual mistakes, incorrect assumptions, algebraic errors, and dimensional inconsistencies. I’ve worked on problems at GATE, CSIR-NET, JEST, TIFR, and IIT-JAM level.

For my Phonon Dispersion Analysis using Molecular Dynamics project, I processed simulation and atomic trajectory data using Python, extracted physical quantities, and checked results against expected physical behaviour.

In Machine Learning Projects – IIT Kanpur, I used Python and scikit-learn to prepare data, train models, and evaluate performance. I hold an M.Sc. in Physics from University of Mumbai, qualified CSIR-NET Physics, and earned All India Rank 495 in GATE Physics 2026.
