I will start a new theoretical chemistry and condensed matter group at The Ohio State University in Fall 2026. Check out the new Kundu Group Website! We are actively recruiting graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. If you’re interested in joining my group, please write to me with your latest CV.

I am a theoretical chemist developing numerical simulation methods for condensed phase systems, combining non-adiabatic quantum and classical dynamics methods with ab initio quantum chemistry and machine learning potentials. I am particularly interested in the strongly coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics of electrochemical interfaces, magnetic quantum materials, and nanoconfined supramolecular aggregates.

I am wrapping up my postdoc in Tim Berkelbach’s group at Columbia University. I had obtained my PhD in 2023 from UIUC, working with Nancy Makri.

My PhD dissertation titled “Exciton-vibration Dynamics using Real-Time Path Integrals” was awarded the Justin Jankunas Doctoral Dissertation Award by the American Physical Society. My postdoctoral research received a 2025 ACS Physical Chemistry Young Investigator Award.
