Have you wondered ever, what happens if you start breaking an inanimate object whatever you see around you!? Does it excite you if I say whatever you ‘see’ around you through your naked eye, all are made up of only 17 different types of particles!? Does it stir your young mind, if you are told there are only 4 kinds of forces responsible for all the phenomena taken place in the universe [definitely except love ;) ]!? These types of extraordinarily fascinating things are being investigated over past few centuries! Thousands of genius minds’ hard work have led us to these enthralling conclusions! My area of research, in a broader sense, does belong to the above mentioned categories. I am trying to understand the nature of some of the fundamental particles (quark, gluons, Higgs bosons etc.) among the above-mentioned 17. How do they behave? How do they help to build up the universe? And also...are these the only fundamental particles existing in the universe or there are many more? There are hundreds of unanswered questions which are part of active investigations in the scientific community of particle physics. Being a theoretical physicist, I try to explore and understand these through mathematics. The outcomes of the theoretical understanding require experimental verifications before reaching out to a conclusion.
