Hi!
I am Rajesh Kumar
a Nuclear Astrophysicist (Theory)

currently working as an Assistant Professor at MRPD Government Arts and Science College Talwara, Punjab, India
I am a dedicated researcher with over eight years of experience in theoretical cum computational nuclear astrophysics. Currently, I am working as an Assistant Professor at MRPD Government Arts and Science College Talwara, Punjab, India. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Kent State University, Ohio, USA, where I investigated the physics of compact stars and hadrons in hot and dense matter. I earned my Ph.D. from Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, India, focusing on the properties of hadrons under extreme conditions, including strong magnetic fields. My extensive experience includes authoring numerous publications, attending international conferences, contributing to international research collaborations, and serving as a reviewer for leading journals. I bring a strong background in teaching, computational skills, and academic engagement to my work. Additionally, I am an active member of the MUSES collaboration development team, contributing to the CMF-module, QLIMR, CMF+QLIMR, and CMF+lepton module projects on GitHub. In collaboration with NP3M, I am working on incorporating meson contributions to the equation of state of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures as well as for compact star matter.
Research Interests: Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter, Compact Stars, QCD Phase Transitions, Machine Learning, Statistical Analysis
