Biography

I am a condensed matter physicist specializing in spintronics, nanomagnetism and quantum materials, with a focus on understanding nanoscale magnetic textures such as skyrmions. My research is focused on fundamental spin transport, orbital transport phenomena and the dynamics of nanoscale magnetic textures, aiming to seek for new physical mechanisms towards developing unconventional computing architectures. I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Sciences at IISER Berhampur, where the research is focused at the intersection of topological magnetism, spin-orbit physics and next-generation information technologies.
