Biography

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (UKRI-funded) in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, working in the Quantum Optoelectronic group with Prof. Tristan Farrow and Prof. Robert Taylor. My research focuses on coupling inorganic and bio-emitters to optical cavities to achieve single-emitter lasing.

Before Oxford, I was a CNRS Postdoctoral Researcher with Prof. Jerome Wenger at Institut Fresnel, Marseille, where I developed expertise in Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy and worked on improving the temporal resolution of single-molecule fluorescence techniques using nanoantennas.

I completed my BSc at Ramjas College, University of Delhi, and my Integrated PhD at IISER Pune with Prof. GV Pavan Kumar, where I worked on Fourier plane imaging and spectroscopy, and single-molecule SERS techniques.

As a Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings Fellow, I engage in Sciathons and have worked on projects such as “Decentralized Peer Review in Open Science” and “Communicating Climate Change”. I am also planning initiatives to eliminate the need for recommendation letters in scientific appointments.
