Doctoral Candidates (DCs)

My academic journey in higher education began at the University of Delhi, India, where I completed both my Bachelor’s (2020-2023) and Master’s degrees (2023-2025) in Physics. During my under-graduate studies, as an INSPIRE (DST) scholar, I was fortunate to receive the opportunity to dive into research projects early on. This allowed me to explore diverse fields of physics, including high-energy physics, laser physics, and nuclear physics. It was during this exploration that I found my-self deeply drawn to nuclear physics, because it uniquely bridges experimental work with complex simulations and data analysis. This perfect combination of skill sets is exactly what motivated me to choose Nuclear Physics as my specialization during my Master’s degree.

In my MSc, I expanded on this interest by focusing on core subjects like Quantum Mechanics, Nu-clear Reactions, and Gamma-ray Spectroscopy. My master’s dissertation focused on “Compound Nuclear Reactions using the Hauser-Feshbach Theory,” where, I executed high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopic measurements and developed proficiency in managing sophisticated radiation detection instrumentation, optimization simulations, and data analysis. I also gained experience processing fission fragment data using MR-TOF-MS systems in collaboration with GSI, Germany.

Joining the PANIONS network as a doctoral candidate at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, my project focuses on the experimental visualization of ion-driven molecular dynamics. I look forward to developing capabilities in using time- and position-sensitive particle detectors for 3D coincidence imaging of single isolated chemical reactions. By analyzing large multi-dimensional datasets and comparing them with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, I aim to uncover the underlying quantum mechanisms of ionization- and neutralization-induced reactions alongside an international research community.
