ICTS graduate student Bikram Pain has been awarded the prestigious Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Research Fellowship by the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF). The fellowship will enable him to spend nine months at The University of Texas at Austin, where he will work with Matteo Ippoliti’s group.
Bikram’s research interests broadly lie in non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics, quantum dynamics, and quantum chaos. During his stay at UT Austin, he hopes to explore the broader question of how quantum information is scrambled and encoded across space and time in isolated quantum systems.
Speaking about the fellowship, Bikram said, “I would also like to express sincere gratitude to my advisor, Sthitadhi Roy, for his mentorship, and to ICTS for providing an excellent platform for my research.”
Centre Director Rajesh Gopakumar said, “It is very fulfilling to see our students blossoming into capable researchers and getting their due recognition in multiple ways such as these.”
ICTS wishes Bikram a highly productive and rewarding stay at UT Austin and every success in this exciting new chapter of his research journey.
