I am a PhD candidate at Virginia Tech, working under the supervision of Dr. Charles Cao on research at the intersection of quantum gravity and quantum information. Our work explores topics such as holography, entanglement, and the emergent spacetime; classical and quantum aspects of black holes; experimental probes of the quantum nature of gravity; emergent phenomena in quantum many-body systems; holographic codes & quantum error correction; and quantum computing.
Prior to this, I completed a BS-MS dual degree in physics with a minor in mathematics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Thiruvananthapuram. My master's thesis, titled "New Matter Multiplets in Conformal Supergravity," was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Bindusar Sahoo in the String Theory Group at IISER TVM.
