About

He who doesn't fear death dies only once. - Giovanni Falcone
Bhavay Tyagi

I am a Theoretical Physicist, currently pursuing a PhD at the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in University of Houston.

I'm currently looking at Dynamical Open Quantum Systems and Phase Transitions. I'm interested in the intersections of mathematical physics and ultimately interested in a complete quantum theory of gravity.

Research Interests

  • Dualities in physics - underlying connections in seemingly unrelated physical systems
  • Open Quantum Systems
  • Quantum Chaos
  • Quantum Field Theory
  • Quantum Phase Transitions
  • Quantum Gravity

Beyond Physics

I am a musician at heart and I love to sing and play the guitar. I love performing on stage. I am also an amateur guitar mechanic/collector and vinyl collector, but one day hope to have a very unique collection.

Music runs through my genes and I can never see my life without it. Fun Fact: Music makes the deepest (most fundamental) neural pathways in your brain. Ever thought why you remember so many songs?

Sports & Activities

I am a sports enthusiast and I think that at any given point in time, in life, one must always be associated with at least one sport. The blend of psychology and the physicality is unparalleled and it helps one grow stronger both mentally and physically.

I love playing and watching everything from Cricket, Football,...,Chess and even E-Sports. I'm a hardcore Cricket fan though and at one point was on the path of pursuing it professionally.

The Knowmads Podcast

I am a co-host of a monthly podcast called The Knowmads Podcast along with my girlfriend Prachi. We invite guests from various fields including but not limited to STEM, philosophy, psychology, cultural arts, music etc.
