About Me

I am a Theoretical Physicist and a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. My research interests include classical and quantum gravity, cosmology and quantum information.

Biography

Saurya Das did his B.Sc. in physics from Presidency University, Kolkata followed by Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai (Madras), India. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Gravitational Physics and Geometry at Pennsylvania State University, the University of Winnipeg, and the University of New Brunswick. He joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Lethbridge, as an Assistant Professor in 2003. He became an Associate Professor in 2008 and a Full Professor on 2013. He is an executive committee member of Quantum Alberta, an affiliate member of the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics and a member of the LISA consortium. He has authored/co-authored more than 130 research papers in classical and quantum gravity, cosmology and quantum information.
