Dr. Sourav Bhakta
Postdoc
My research focuses on light–matter interactions through deeply subwavelength optical confinement in nano- and quantum cavities as well as space–time-driven Floquet engineering
My hobby is reading Bengali novels and storybooks (Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay) and writing poems (Book: ‘Channachara’) and stories.
