Research Fellow from 2023 to 2025
Active in: PWGLF

I completed my PhD at Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India, in 2019. During my PhD, I started my research in both experimental and phenomenological fronts on heavy-ion collisions and QGP-related studies at the LHC. Mostly, my research revolved around the production of hadronic resonances, light flavor particles and the studies related to event shape classifiers like transverse spherocity.
In 2020, I was a postdoctoral fellow at ICN, UNAM, Mexico, where I performed studies related to relative transverse classifier (RT) dependence of charged-particle production and search of jet-like region modifications in small systems. From 2021-2023, I joined INFN Bologna as INFN fellow, where I performed the first measurement of f0(980) production at the LHC and also collaborated with colleagues from INFN Bologna, ICN-Mexico, IIT Indore and TUM, Munich, to perform a few phenomenological studies related to event shape classifiers, machine learning applications and a realistic coalescence model for nuclei production at the LHC. From Oct 2020 to Sep 2022, I served as underlying-event PAG coordinator.
Since March 2023, I have been a research fellow in the ALICE Physics Team at CERN. During the tenure of the CERN fellowship, I was a convenor of PWG MM (Minimum Bias and Monte Carlo) and continued to PWG LF convenorship after the merging of LF and MM. My research at CERN mainly focused on the measurement of energy loss with ICP of charged particles in Pb–Pb collisions at 5.36 TeV using Run 3 ALICE framework. I am also performing studies related to event-by-event deuteron fluctuations in small systems. In the phenomenological front, I am working on a review of event shape studies at the LHC in the hunt of origin of collectivity in small systems. In March 2025, I will move to Lund University with MSCA grant to continue my research related to correlations, fluctuations and balance functions.
In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, travelling and photography.
