About
I am trained as an experimental physicist in Nonlinear and Quantum Optics. I earned my PhD in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). I have been with PES Institutions since 2000. My current research interests cover Applied Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Computation and Quantum Information. I run a research lab- "Nonlinear and Quantum Optics". I have delivered online lectures on "The Theoretical Minima of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Computation and Quantum Game Theory".
