About

Let me introduce myself.

I am a third year undergraduate student persuing a Bachlors of Science in Physics, from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. I'm an avid reader, a learning musician, and an enthusiastic movie go-er; although, I admit the last is often persued the most.

Profile

Undergraduate student interested in scientific research in quantum and particle physics. Experienced in GEANT4 radiation detection simulations, data analysis, and visualization. Aiming to implement modern tools, such as AI/ML algorithms and various quantum computing technologies in research.

Skills

I have worked with C++, both in an industrial setting and a scientific one. I also ave expeirence in radiation simulations using the Cern-GEANT4 toolkit and the CERN-Root frameworks. In adiiton, I have also used various python libraries extensivly for data calculations, analysis, organisation, and visualization purposes.

Resume

More of my credentials.

Working with various professors in different fields, has opened my eyes to the world of research. I have developed a love for the physics of the very small, along with a healthy fasciantions for the various tools/methods required to pry into it. That being said, my work in the industrial setting has provided to be equally fruitfull.

Work Experience

Quantum Thermodynamics

July, 2022 - Present

Quantum Thermodynamics Group IIT Kanpur, Prof. Arnab Ghosh

Wrote an introductory manuscript (published in Physical Chemistry Journal of Indian Academy of Sciences) on the topic of Quantum Thermodynamics. It serves as an introduction to the field, starting from classical thermodynamics and moving on to its quantum counterparts. Currently working on an implementation of deep learning to optimise quantum thermal machines.

Radiation Detection and Spectroscopy

May 2023 -August 2023

RDS Labs IIT Roorkee, Dr. Anil Kumar Gourishetty

Created a simulation of a 4π detector array using C++ based Cern-GEANT4 toolkit. Used the simulation to find photopeak and sumpeak counts.This is an effort to verify a mathematical formulation for finding the detector efficiency for 22Na radioisotope in a 4π detector array.

Translational Neuroscience

September, 2022 - May, 2023

Neuroscience and Technology Lab IIT Kanpur, Dr. Pragrathi Balasubramani

Performed statistical analysis of experimental data from a drug study. The goal was to understand medication's longitudinal cognitive and behavioral effects on mental health and their comparisons to healthy controls. The results of which could be used to increase the quality of future patient care. Used various Python libraries to create a pipeline to analyze the large data set. The script consisted of importing data, various sorting, and calculations, and visualizing the final result

Software Internship

December 2022

Quazar Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Delhi.

Edited a previous GUI to work with a driver created for a Spin Coater that Quazar Technologies created. Used FLTK to design the UI and C++ to create a connection to the driver.

Education

Bachlors Degree

December 2021 - Present

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

Persuing a Bachlors Degree in Physics with a double major in Satistics and Data Science. My Current Cumulative Grade Point Average is: 8.7/10.

High School

July 2017 - June 2021

Gyanshree School Noida

Graduated top of my class with a combined aggregate of 98%.
