I am an experimental particle physicist focused on rare event searches. My research encompasses novel detector development, Geant4-based detector design and simulation, machine learning techniques for background modeling, and advanced physics data analysis. During my academic training, I contributed to reactor-based neutrino measurements in India and participated in the MINER collaboration, a coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering experiment at Texas A&M University. I am currently a member of the PandaX dark matter collaboration, where I am involved in the development of a novel cold liquid scintillator veto detector for the PandaX-xT experiment.
