Swastik Majumder
About

I am Swastik Majumder, originally from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. I am currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, where I am pursuing a PhD in Physics at Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) under the guidance of Dr. Tyler Gorda.

Beyond my research, I maintain a broad intellectual interest in reading(and debating!) fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, history, and political history. I also write poetry, keep notes on books I read, enjoy teaching physics, and follow cricket.
