Meet the Speakers
Tejinder Pal Singh
Tejinder Pal Singh is a theoretical physicist captivated by the intersections of classical gravity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. After 33 years at TIFR Mumbai, he continues to explore foundational problems of quantum theory and gravity, focusing recently on the octonionic approach to unification.
Patrick Das Gupta
Patrick Das Gupta is a theoretical physicist and astrophysicist with work spanning general relativity, cosmology, quantum mechanics, and fast radio bursts. After 31 years at Delhi University, he remains a beloved educator known for clear, intuitive teaching.
Ashmita Das
Ashmita Das works at the intersection of semiclassical gravity, quantum fields in curved spacetime, and higher-dimensional particle physics. Her teaching emphasizes intuitive connections between geometry, quantum effects, and observable physics.
Apratim Ganguly
Apratim Ganguly is a computational physicist at IUCAA specialising in gravitational-wave data analysis, symbolic tensor calculus, and black hole perturbation theory. His tutorials bridge theory and practical computation.
Bhaswati Mandal
Bhaswati Mandal studies modified gravity, gravitational waves, and black hole physics at ISI Kolkata. She brings both research depth and strong teaching experience to the refresher course.
Anuj Mishra
Anuj Mishra (ICTS) specialises in gravitational waves, especially lensing and wave-optics effects. His practical experience with real detector data brings observational GR physics to the classroom.
