Research Interests

Neutrino Oscillations — Precision analysis of DUNE, T2K, T2HK, and NOvA data; mass ordering, CP violation, and θ23 octant determination.
JUNO Physics — Reactor neutrino disappearance, mass hierarchy, and implications for standard neutrinos and BSMs.
Reactor Anomaly — Investigation of spectral distortions at Daya Bay, RENO, and Double Chooz; sterile neutrino interpretations and flux uncertainties.
Neutrino Cross-Sections — Modeling quasi-elastic, resonant, and CEνNS scattering; nuclear effects and systematic impacts on oscillation physics.
BSM Neutrino Physics — Sterile neutrinos, non-standard interactions, and flavor symmetry models; global fits.
Solar Neutrinos — Borexino, Super-Kamiokande, and SNO data analysis; solar model-independent constraints and NSI effects.
Neutrino Astrophysics — Supernova neutrinos, ultra-high-energy neutrinos, and multimessenger connections.
Emerging Directions — Matter-wave interferometry, quantum sensing, and absolute neutrino mass constraints from kinematic and cosmological probes.
