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.

You may contact me at majumderswastik09@gmail.com.

Stochastic systems with Bose-Hubbard interactions: Effects of bias on particles on a random comb

Swastik Majumder, Mustansir Barma

Physical Review E (2026)

We studied stochastic transport of interacting particles on a disordered random-comb network, emphasizing how bias and interactions shape steady-state behavior.

Stochastic systems with Bose-Hubbard interactions: Effects of bias on particles on a one-dimensional lattice

Swastik Majumder, Mustansir Barma

Physical Review E (2026)

We explored the interplay between stochastic drive, interactions, and boundary conditions in interacting particle systems on a one-dimensional lattice.

Three cases of complex eigenvalue/vector distributions of symmetric order-three random tensors

Swastik Majumder, Naoki Sasakura

Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (2024)

We computed complex eigenvalue and eigenvector distributions for symmetric order-three random tensors using zero-dimensional quantum field theory techniques. These distributions find application in quantum gravity, spin glass physics, and quantum information theory.
