Research

I work broadly in two fields, namely, Theoretical Nuclear Physics and Mathematical Physics. The work being of more fundamental in nature, involves explorations into the history of these subjects too, which leads naturally to studies in history and philosophy of these fields as well. 

1. Theoretical Nuclear Physics:

With the aim to understand structure, reaction and decay properties of nuclei spanning the entire periodic table, the focus of my work is on low energy aspects of theoretical nuclear physics. It also involves development of mathematical tools to study a self-bound system that is potentially complex. 

2. Mathematical Physics:

Mathematical Physics involves two aspects: development of mathematical tool for studying systems such as those described in point 1, as well as investigations of general mathematical structures that draw their inspiration from such physical problems. Specific areas that are being studied are, but not restricted to, pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, generalized extreme value distributions, certain aspects of non-linear partial differential equations and symplectic geometry. 

3. History and Philosophy of Physics:

No work that is of a fundamental in character is complete without adequate excursions into the historical and philosophical aspects of it. This leads naturally to the study of history and philosophy of science, specifically Quantum Mechanics and allied areas.
