Active matter: chirality, translational order, and interfaces
My PhD work is on chiral active matter with solid and fluid directions, dynamics of the interface of a nonconserved chiral order parameter in an active system, flocking on curved manifolds and field-driven colloids in ... -
Activity induced phase separation and the emergence of liquid crystal phases in chiral and achiral systems, and development of an efficient method to compute the entropy of various liquid crystal phases
The phase behaviour of shape-anisotropic particles is an emerging field of research that gives rise to various liquid crystal phases. In this thesis, we explore various equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of ... -
Chaos, entanglement, and non-equilibrium dynamics in Hermitian and non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems
Quantum chaos and entanglement have appeared as two key intertwined concepts to characterize fundamental quantum correlations of quantum many-body states and to understand the emergence of thermal and non-thermal steady ... -

The emergence of topological materials has fundamentally altered the landscape of condensed matter physics, introducing phases of matter defined by the topological properties of their electronic wavefunctions. A particularly ... -
An experimental study on thermoelectric transport at van der Waals interfaces
When two planar atomic or molecular layers are brought to sub-nanometer proximity, they form a van der Waals interface because the van der Waals force forms the dominant attractive force between them. The van der Waals ... -
Exploring Electron Bubbles in Liquid Helium using Cavitation
An electron entering liquid helium experiences a repulsive potential of 1 eV. This originates in the interaction between the injected electron and electrons of the closed shells of helium atoms through Pauli exclusion ... -
