Welcome to my homepage! Here you will find glimpses of my academic journey to understand the nature of things. I am fascinated by the exotic properties of graphene and two-dimensional systems. Over the past decade and a half, I have also taught a broad spectrum of theory courses at IIT Madras – to list them as complementing pairs: ‘classical’ and ‘quantum’ physics; ‘mathematical’ physics and ‘experimental’ physics, ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ condensed matter physics.
