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. Our research combines spin and orbital transport, magnetic imaging and nanofabrication to explore new approaches to energy-efficient and unconventional computing.
I received my Ph.D. from NISER Bhubaneswar and conducted postdoctoral research at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides and the Laboratoire Albert Fert, France. I am currently an Assistant Professor at IISER Berhampur, where the research is focussed at the intersection of topological magnetism, spin–orbit physics and next-generation information technologies.
