Hi, welcome to my humble website, and thanks for checking this. I'm a 25-year-old Citizen Scientist looking forward to joining a Research Organization as a Scientist/Engineer :)
Currently, I'm a Graduate Student at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, studying Construction Technology and Management (which includes master's level courses in Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering). I've been sponsored by Larsen & Toubro Limited for a 2-year, full-time M.Tech. program in Construction Technology and Management through the L&T Build India Scholarship Scheme. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering with a CGPA of 8.48/10 (Rank: 2nd/92) from Jabalpur Engineering College, India.
Previously, I worked as a Senior Engineer at Larsen & Toubro Limited, India, where I have undertaken both planning and execution tasks related to railway construction. Following my graduation, I'd the opportunity to work at the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia, under the supervision of Dr. Igor Denisenko. I worked on a project titled 'Detector and physics simulation using heavy ion collisions at NICA-SPD'. Additionally, I served as an international participant at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions in JINR Dubna, working on a project related to the production and spectroscopic investigation of Hg and Rn isotopes using a mass separator facility named MASHA, under the guidance of Mr. Viacheslav Vedeneev.
As part of a research program, I was invited for a 6-month Research Internship at the CSIR-Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, India, where I worked on a project called 'Detection of CO2 Gas Using Non-Dispersive Infrared Gas Sensors', under the supervision of Dr. Vijay Chatterjee. I also interned at The Sparks Foundation, Singapore, where I completed projects related to web development and app development. I love devoting time for my academic growth, including delivering talks at international conferences and presenting posters in workshops. I frequently participate in International Asteroid Search Campaigns, analyzing image sets from the 1.8 m Pan-STARRS telescope. So far, I've made one preliminary asteroid discovery, confirmed by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration, with its provisional status pending. This summarizes my technical experience thus far. In the non-technical domain, I have interned with the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment and as a Pre-Sales intern for WhiteHat Jr. I am a strong team leader, and my ideal work environment includes both collaborating with a team and working independently on projects. I have excellent oral and written communication skills and am a native Hindi speaker with C2 proficiency in English.
I'm enthusiastic about various high-energy and nuclear experiments conducted at CERN, JINR, FAIR, KEK, BNL, and many other particle physics laboratories worldwide. I regularly seek to learn more from my seniors and scientific supervisors about their ongoing projects and research work. I have a keen interest in High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, Quantum Computing, Microelectronics, and Digital Electronics, and I'm always eager to deepen my knowledge in these areas. Due to my strong passion for Particle Physics, I'm helping ATLAS scientists in their discovery of massive long-lived particles by classifying real events and data collected by the ATLAS Detector during LHC Run II.
You can reach me using the contacts below, although I’m more likely to be found playing with the dogs somewhere near the IIT Delhi Central Library, in Delhi, India.A list of my research articles can be found in an online database of NASA ADS.
