Dr. Nandi's research interests lie in gravitation and cosmology, with a particular focus on understanding the physics of the early universe, especially in the realm beyond the electroweak scale. He explores various paradigms of the early universe, including inflation and bounce scenarios, and reheating dynamics. Currently, he is engaged in constructing, analyzing, and comparing different models in relation to ongoing and upcoming cosmological missions, such as those studying the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and other observations. Additionally, Dr. Nandi is investigating magnetogenesis during the primordial era, which may help explain the current abundance of magnetic fields across different cosmic scales. He aims to integrate topics like primordial black holes (PBHs) and primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) with the dynamics of the early universe, seeking to understand the universe as a whole to gain insights into the dynamics of the primordial cosmos. Notably, he is a recipient of the DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship award.
