Hi, I'm Mandeep. I am currently a Junior Research Fellow at the Climate & Research Services, India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Pune, studying atmospheric waves, boundary layer dynamics, and weather patterns over complex terrains. 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 from St. Aloysius College, Mangalore.
My research interests lie at the intersection of atmospheric physics, scientific computing, and machine learning. My experience spans building 2D numerical solvers for boundary layer advection, developing deep autoencoders and graph neural networks for particle physics measurements, and modeling exotic pentaquark states in dense stellar matter. Outside of physics, I enjoy amateur astronomy, playing the flute, and cycling. I also co-founded The Socratic Circle Book Club to discuss scientific literature with peers.

Research and Projects
-
Atmospheric Sci
Numerical Modeling of Advective Boundary Layer Dynamics (May 2026)
Project Details
Built a numerical solver for the Mahrt (1972) boundary layer model using Python. Initialized the model with ERA5 wind data along the 60°E longitude (Somali Jet axis). Simulated wind profiles and studied boundary layer sensitivity to pressure forces and eddy viscosity.
-
HEP ML
Autoencoder-based Precision Measurement Techniques (July 2025 - Nov 2025)
Project Details
Built autoencoder neural networks to improve precision in particle physics measurements. Used the models to calibrate measurements and reduce systematic uncertainties.
-
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.
