Latent Diffusion Anomaly Detection for New Physics Searches May 2025 – Present
Independent Research Project- Developing a latent diffusion–based anomaly detection framework to identify model-independent new physics signatures in LHC data.
- Combines a Bayesian encoder with physics-aware losses (mass decorrelation, Ï„ correlations) for robust background separation.
- Evaluated on QCD, W′, and RODEM Jet datasets (link) using ROC, 5σ, and UMAP metrics.
- Aims to build unsupervised, uncertainty-aware models that enhance interpretability in AI-driven physics searches.
- Preprint in preparation

Systematic studies on the signal yield determination in the decay B → K*(892)(→ Kπ)ℓ+ℓ− at Belle II (Thesis)
Developed a fit model for the decay channel focusing on precise signal and background separation across various q² regions. Applied q² vetoes to reduce contamination from resonances like J/ψ and ψ(2S). Validated using control channels and tested robustness with toy Monte Carlo studies. Demonstrated model effectiveness on realistic Belle II data, providing groundwork for future high-luminosity rare decay studies.

Synthesis of SiC 1D nanostructure by plasma arc method (Thesis)
Used thermal plasma arc discharge to synthesize 1D SiC nanostructures, with plasma current playing a key role in morphology. XRD confirmed crystal structure; TEM revealed SiC nanorods/nanowires. EDAX and elemental mapping validated silicon and carbon distribution in samples.
