About
Hi, I’m a physics graduate preparing to apply for PhD positions in high-energy theory. I completed my Master’s in Theoretical Physics at the University of Dhaka and currently work as a research assistant with the Astrophysics & Cosmology Research Group at Jahangirnagar University. I’m also open to research collaborations and visiting programs in the areas below.
My interests span hep-th, gr-qc, math-ph, and astro-ph. My current research and studies focus on:
- Cosmological collider signatures of heavy fields in D5-brane inflation.
- Local geometric aspects of M-theory on G2-holonomy manifolds.
- Weak gravitational lensing and precision cosmology.
Beyond physics and mathematics, I enjoy films, literature, and various forms of art. art. I’m also thinking of creating web content around these interests, including writing articles to share on this site.

The illustration at the page header (and shown here) is from Figure 1.1 of the book Gravitation by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler (MTW). It is used under fair use for non-profit, educational, and illustrative purposes.
The Riemannian geometry of the spacetime of general relativity is symbolized by the two-dimensional geometry of the surface of an apple. The geodesic tracks followed by the ants on the apple’s surface symbolize the world line followed through spacetime by a free particle.
