Way of Being Read voraciously, run freely, discover endlessly, live and explore relentlesly.
Hi, I'm Mandeep. I completed my Master's in Physics at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, under the guidance of Dr. Suneel Dutt, following my Bachelor's in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from St. Aloysius College, Mangalore.
My research experience includes investigating pentaquark systems, developing machine learning models for galaxy classification, and exploring quantum computing applications. Outside of physics, I enjoy amateur astronomy, playing the flute, and cycling. I also co-founded The Socratic Circle Book Club to encourage discussions about scientific literature among peers.

Research and Projects
-
MSc Project
Medium Modification of Pentaquark Θ+ (July 2023 - May 2024)
Project Details
Investigated exotic pentaquark baryon Θ+ using chiral SU(3) quark mean field model, incorporating key QCD features. Analyzed medium modifications in nuclear and strange matter, developed calculations for effective mass modifications, and found significant mass reduction with increasing baryon density. Applied theoretical framework incorporating scalar fields (σ, ζ, δ) and vector fields (ω, ρ, ϕ) for comprehensive analysis.

ML Project
Galaxy Image Classification (May 2023 - July 2023)
Project Details
This galaxy image classification project demonstrates the effectiveness of convolutional neural networks in astronomical image analysis. With a test accuracy of 73.99%, the model successfully distinguishes between various galaxy morphologies, providing a solid foundation for automated galaxy classification systems.

BSc Project
High Fidelity FM Broadcaster (May 2022 - July 2022)
Project Details
Designed and constructed a small-scale FM broadcasting system operating in the 88-108 MHz frequency band. Implemented frequency modulation using VCO circuit, assembled RF amplifier stage, and optimized audio quality through low-pass filters.
