About
I am Shruti Paranjape, currently a postdoctoral researcher at Brown University. Previously, I was at the University of California, Davis, where I was supported by a UC Davis Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship. I got my PhD in physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in April 2021.
I am interested in many topics in theoretical high energy physics. My research explores facets of quantum field theories, in particular scattering amplitudes and the fascinating properties they display.
