Associate Professor
Research Interests:
Quantum many-body systems in and out-of-equilibrium
I am a condensed matter theorist with broad interests in driven quantum matter, thermalization, localization, topological systems, quantum entanglement and the physics of near-term quantum devices. My group develops organizing principles at the non-equilibrium frontier, applies them to understand experiments in current quantum hardware, and uses these principles to design novel near-term quantum devices and state preparation protocols. My group also has a long-standing interest in quantum entanglement: its uses and misuses in characterizing quantum matter, and its importance as a quantum resource.
I obtained my B.Tech degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras in 2008, and my PhD in Physics from Princeton University in 2013. After a postdoctoral position at the Perimeter Institute, I moved to Boston University, where I am currently an Associate Professor. I am a recipient of the Gutzwiller Fellowship, the Sloan research Fellowship and the faculty early Career award from the National Science Foundation.
