About MADHURIMA PANDEY

Myself, Dr. Madhurima Pandey is an Associate Professor of Physics at Haldia Institute of Technology, with research interests in astroparticle physics and cosmology. I have completed B.Sc. in Physics from Bethune College (2013) and M.Sc. (2015) from the University of Calcutta, followed by a Ph.D. from the Homi Bhabha National Institute through the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics in 2021. I have authored 16 research publications, including 14 papers in refereed journals and two conference proceedings, with two works published as a single author, and hav also contributed book chapters. I am a recipient of the INSPIRE Fellowship and the JSPS-HOPE Fellowship. I am proficient in FORTRAN and C programming. I have applied for competitive research grants including SERB-POWER, Start-up Research, and MSME IDEA Hackathon. In my academic role, I actively contribute to curriculum development, research initiatives, and student mentoring, while holding key departmental and institutional responsibilities like development (like NBA coordinator, Subject coordinator, core member of several academic committees etc.).

Research Interests
1. My research lies at the intersection of particle physicsastrophysicsand cosmologywith a particular focus on understanding the fundamental nature of the Universe through three central pillars of astroparticle physics: dark matterhigh-energy neutrinosand primordial gravitational waves.2. A core objective of my work is to develop and study viable particle-physics models of dark matterinvestigating their theoretical consistency as well as their phenomenological signatures in cosmology and astrophysical observations. In parallelI explore the physics of ultra-high-energy neutrinos detected by the IceCube Observatorywith the aim of understanding their originproduction mechanismsand connection to new physics beyond the Standard Model.3. Another major direction of my research is the study of primordial gravitational waves generated in the early Universeparticularly those arising from first-order phase transitions associated with particle-physics models. These gravitational waves provide a unique window into energy scales far beyond the reach of terrestrial experiments. I investigate both their generation mechanisms and their detectability by future space-based interferometerssuch as LISA-like observatories.4. Beyond these core themesmy work also extends to related topics in early-Universe cosmologyincluding the 21-cm absorption line as a probe of dark matter and cosmic dawnprimordial black holes as potential dark matter candidatesand the dynamical evolution of the Universe within the framework of Lyra geometry.5. In the coming yearsI aim to further strengthen the connection between particle-physics phenomenology and cosmologywith special emphasis on the productionevolutionand detection of primordial gravitational waves.
