About

I'm a fourth-year physics student at IISER Kolkata, currently spending the summer as a research student at IMSc Chennai under Prof Ajit Balram, where I'm reading about Quantum Hall Effect. My longer-term interest is in quantum information theory specifically the geometry of quantum states, entanglement, and what it all means.

Outside the lab, I write essays, fragments, whatever forms itself. I listen to music, play cricket and I watch a lot of films. I'm trying to build a reading habit and slowly learning conversational German (slowly being the operative word).

I'm proudly Tamil. The language, the literature, the food, the people : it all shapes how I think. This site is a place to collect what I make and what I'm thinking about.
