Research in Neutrinos and Dark Matter

Teaching Quantum Mechanics, Electronics, Particle Physics in addition to my research in proton therapy and particle detectors with over 25 peer-reviewed research articles on nuclear instrumentation, cosmic muon data analysis, particle detectors and proton therapy. I was involved in the proposed India-based Neutrino Observatory right from 2008, when I joined TIFR as a postdoc, and contributed to developing the DAQ system and data analysis frameworks. The experiment was called off in 2024 but I (and my students) greatly benefitted from the hands-on training in almost all aspects of high-energy physics that I received from a modest in-house-built detector setup.My current interests are in applying deep-learning techniques in proton imaging (proton therapy) and neutrino detection.

Worked in the field of proton therapy in collaboration with UCL Belgium and IBA Belgium. I was part of a team that designed a novel range measurement system for prostate cancer treatments.

Worked in the field of proton therapy in association with IBA Belgium and Harvard Medical School, Boston.

I worked on designing the data acquisition system for a prototype cosmic muon detector for the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO). I was also involved in analyzing the data and in Monte-Carlo simulations of particle detectors.
