Dr. Hab. Ipsita Mandal

CV

Ipsita Mandal obtained her Bachelor's degree at Jadavpur University in 2005 and her Master's degree at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute (affiliated to the Homi Bhabha National Institute in Mumbai) three years later. In 2012, she completed her Ph. D. at the same Institute, and received her Habilitation at the Henryka Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland in 2020. She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada (from 2013-2016) and the University of Basel in Switzerland (2016-2017). Amongst other research positions, Mandal has worked as Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur from 2016 to 2017 as well as an Associate Professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway from 2019 to 2020. She worked as an Associate Professor at the Henryka Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland from 2020 to 2023. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Shiv Nadar Institute of Eminence.

She has been awarded notable achievements such as the Prime Minister’s Award in 2022 for highly rated achievements in her Habilitation. Mandal was a Plenary speaker at the XLVIII Congress of Polish Physicists, held in Gdańsk during September 1-7, 2023.

NEWFIS: New Frontiers For Interaction-Induced States

Quantum many-body physics is the research area to build frameworks for understanding the collective interactions of a large ensemble of fundamental particles, giving rise to complex emergent phenomena. Such exotic phenomena manifest themselves in solid-state systems containing a large number (~ Avogadro number) of itinerant electrons, as these are the fundamental particles responsible for imparting the observed physical properties of real materials. Although we can theoretically solve quantum mechanical models of non-interacting electrons hopping on a lattice, interacting electrons are inseparable into products of their individual states, and rarely analytically tractable. NEWFIS will discover and explore the origins of such strongly interacting electronic phases, predicted from recent experiments and / or theoretical models.
