Research interests in brief
Electroweak Phenomenology (Standard Model and Beyond)
Keywords: Higgs Physics, Flavor Physics, Neutrino Physics, Models of fermion masses and mixings, Grand Unified Theories, Dark Matter.
Well motivated scalar extensions of the Standard Model (SM) constitute my primary research theme. The SM predicts only one fundamental scalar. But for what it's worth, the Higgs scalar observed at the LHC might be only the first one in a series of many others to follow. This is an intriguing possibility that should be explored in greater detail. I am particularly interested in finding distinctive features in the LHC Higgs data, which can distinguish the SM Higgs from an SM-like Higgs arising from a more complicated scalar sector. I have also worked in the flavor-Higgs interface, namely, impact of charged scalars on different flavor observables and thereby constraining different BSM scenarios.
My current interests also involve models of radiative neutrino mass and their impacts on lepton flavor violation. I am very interested in extending the simple Zee model with some additional flavor symmetries that can produce predictive textures for the neutrino Majorana mass matrix and thus can provide correlated LFV signals. Apart from this, I would also like to work on the extensions of Scotogenic model that can provide a coherent connection between the neutrino and Dark Matter.
