About

I’m a BS–MS graduate from IISER Kolkata working on ultrafast carrier and phonon dynamics using THz-TDS and pump–probe spectroscopy, supported by first-principles calculations. I enjoy writing Python code to control and interface with instruments.

I care about clarity and reliability. My happy place is a stable setup, readable scripts, and plots that tell an intricate story. I share small tools when they might help someone else.

I love building intuitive mental models and turning them into clean code, visualizations, and experiments.

Off the clock, I unwind with chess and long walks, and sometimes turn ideas into blog posts when they click.
