About

I am a theoretical physicist at the Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics at Leiden University.

My research primarily focuses on everything to do with early universe cosmology and related aspects of particle physics phenomenology. However, I’m also interested in how models of reality nest together with seamless consistency, both intuitively and operationally. The primary toolkit for physicists to understand this is known as the renormalization group, and I’ve been spending a lot of time recently thinking about real space renormalization techniques, especially applied to networks — the prototypical model abstraction of all relational systems. If you’re interested in finding out more about my research, my INSPIRE-HEP author profile can be found here, and my google scholar profile (which includes non-high energy physics adjacent publications) can be found here.

I also sometimes write articles, and also help to curate a dual language English/Hindi series of science talks for young science enthusiasts at Nalanda Academy, particularly aimed at rural students from India from marginalized backgrounds. If you have a passion for science communication and are interested in giving a talk, whatever the topic, feel free to get in touch.
