What I'm looking for

I seek research roles in theoretical or computational gravity and cosmology with collaborative teams, mentorship, and opportunities to publish and attend conferences.

I am a physics researcher pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Lucknow, focusing on gravitational waves in modified and emergent gravity models. My academic background includes an M.Sc. in Physics and a B.Sc. with honours, with strong foundations in theoretical and computational methods.

I have completed focused coursework in classical electrodynamics, plasma physics, and advanced quantum mechanics, and I conducted an M.Sc. project on spacetime expansion using the ΛCDM model and dark energy. I regularly engage in workshops, conferences, and visiting programs to deepen my research exposure.

My research interests include modified gravity theories, Horndeski theories, scalar-tensor models, and emergent gravity, with an emphasis on gravitational wave phenomenology. I have coordinated departmental seminars and developed solid communication and management skills through academic leadership roles.

I work proficiently with Python and Mathematica, prepare scientific documents in LaTeX, and use standard office tools for presentations and data handling. I am motivated to contribute to theoretical and computational research groups exploring gravity and cosmology.
