About me

I am a graduate student in the Department of Physics at ASU working in theoretical high-energy physics and cosmology. Some of my research interests include

• Early Universe: Cosmological phase transitions, cosmological defects, baryogenesis, primordial gravitational waves, (p)reheating.

• High-Energy Physics: Monopoles, strings, dumbbells (confined monopole-antimonopole pairs) in the Electroweak sector.

• Cosmological magnetic fields: Primordial magnetogenesis mechanisms, magneto-hydrodynamic evolution in early Universe & observational aspects—My work on ‘using Fermi-LAT data to test statistical measures of cosmological magnetic field helicity’ has been acknowledged in the prominent review [arXiv:2010.10525]

• Dark Matter: Phenomenology, Ultra-light axionic dark matter searches.

A lot of my high-end computation work involves high performance computing, parallelization and recently, GPUs. You can find the codes I have used in previous works and some of my ongoing projects in my Github page. The links are at the bottom of the page.

Some of the animations for my latest and ongoing work can be found in the animations subpage on the navigation panel.
