Welcome! I am Amitava (he/him, they/them), a fourth year PhD candidate in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park, on Piscataway and Nacotchtank lands.

I develop new AI tools for picking up patterns in real-world data that reveal how cause and effect relationships connect things around us.

I grew up in India and studied physics in Kolkata. Quite fortunately, I ended up being curious about broad and interdisciplinary research questions that are now finding unexpected applications in fields ranging from neuroscience to earth science.

Here is a link to my CV. Please email me at amitavab@umd.edu with questions, job offers, or, for an accessible version of this website.
