Aninda Sinha

Research Interests

My research focuses on string theory and its applications. Recently, I have been pursuing applications of gauge gravity duality in order to apply to the strongly coupled quark gluon plasma. I am also interested in condensed matter physics. In this, I have been interested in Josephson junction based applications and noise in superconducting qubits.
