Biography
Ankit joined King’s College London as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in 2021. Before King's, he was based in Brussels, Belgium for almost three years in a postdoctoral position at the Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology (CP3), UCLouvain. Prior to that, he spent six months at the Oskar Klein Centre, Stockholm University (Sweden) as a visiting researcher.
Ankit completed his undergraduate degree in High-Performance Computational Physics (Honours) and PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
He is an active member of the GAMBIT community who are well-known for performing global statistical fits of popular beyond-the-Standard-Model theories.
Thesis title
The Investigation of Higgs Portal Dark Matter Models.
Research interests
- Detection and identification of particle dark matter
- BSM model building and global fits
- Matter-antimatter asymmetry and neutrino masses
- Ultra-light dark matter and its relevance to the AION experiment
PhD supervisor
