Ph.D. (Jwaraharlal Nehru University, New Delhi)

Research Interests

Have been working on problems dealing with dissipation in quantum systems and issues related to it. Research interests are on real systems which show quantum dissipation.

Structure of atomic clusters

Using the Car-Parrinello technique for calculation of electronic structure of metal clusters. This technique allows determining of lowest energy structure of clusters using the simulated annealing technique. Currently using this technique to molecules for studying localized motion of atoms.

Foundations of quantum theory

Have been working on the various issues regarding the foundations of quantum mechanics and other issues related to emergence of classicality from quantum mechanics, like decoherence.
