Welcome to my webpage! I am a PhD student in the Department of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, and financially supported by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, under the Prime Minister’s Research Fellows scheme.

I am trying to understand the mathematical framework of quantum field theory and explore physics beyond the standard model. The Standard Model is the most accepted theory of elementary particle physics, but there are several limitations, i.e., explanation of neutrino masses, accommodating dark matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry, etc. Therefore, new ideas beyond the standard model are required to explain such physical phenomena.

My research focuses on a wide range of theoretical aspects of high-energy physics. In particular, I am interested in Higgs physics, electroweak symmetry breaking, CP violation, scattering amplitudes, effective field theory, hadron structure, and phase transitions.

I can be contacted at FB480 (faculty building) or samantaphys@gmail.com
