Current Research

My reseach focuses on the development of particle detector for current and future experiments and explores it applicability in imaging. I am currently focusing on research and development of next generation silicon sensor for future application. This work is in collaboration with CERN detector research group. My group along with Prof.s Libby and Pujahari working for silicon tracking detector upgrade for Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment in Geneva, Switzerland. My physics interests are Higgs physics, BSM, lepton universalilty using tau lepton and g-2 for tau lepton and CP violation in Bs decays using CMS experiment. I have keen interest in setting up experiment in India like India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) and have been active member of INO collaboration since 2011.
