“I think nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s, she’s never going to let us relax.”Richard Feynman
I am trying to understand nature. For a long time I drew it; now am learning to compute it. Most of what I do takes place at the boundary between matter and antimatter, between fields and the lattices we use to imitate them.
I grew up in a boarding school in the foothills of the Shivaliks - a place built around beauty and silence, where I learned to thinking about enormous possiblities happening at a time process them in imagination. I did badly at school, in the technical sense, and well at the back bench. I read Feynman’s 1981 lecture on simulating physics by accident, and never quite recovered.
At present I am working as consultant to Prof. Abhishek Sirohiwal Groupat IISc Banglore, i also use to runa a small lab called Deeprealm, where we are building a software infrastrcutre for scientific discoveries. The rest of my time goes to two open frameworks - Antinature for the lighter side of matter, and DiracLab for the field-theoretic layer beneath chemistry. Outside of this, I am quiet.
And most importantly, Lord Hanuman is the secret of my courage, the reason I have kept taking small bold decissions and the reason I am not afraid . . .
Where we are exploring Graphical Neural Networks for Quantum Chemistry and Quantum Simulation. we compute energies and forces using DFT and wavefuntion methods and train varous neural network architecture and determine whether neural networks can be used to explore quantum chemistry calculations.

Episodes recorded in my room, mostly about physics, sometimes about loneliness, occasionally about the difference between the two. New ones arrive when they want to.
