Prof. De is an experimentalist in the areas of atomic-molecular-optical (AMO) physics with expertise in laser cooling and trapping of atoms & ions, degenerate quantum gasses, quantum optics and time & frequency metrology. His present research interests are (i) quantum metrology on ultra-stable optical reference that has applications in fundamental sciences and high-end technologies e.g. quantum communication; (ii) developing quantum-enhanced technologies; (iii) precision measurements for probing temporal constancy of dimensionless fundamental constants, geodesy, violation of Lorentz symmetry and (iv) studying quantum dynamics using trapped atoms/ ions.

Dr. Anupam Bhardwaj works on precision stellar astrophysics and the cosmic distance scale using multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic observations of classical pulsating variable stars. His current research is focussed on improving the calibration of stellar standard candles in the first rung of the cosmic distance ladder used to determine the present expansion rate of the Universe. He uses Cepheid, RR Lyrae, and Mira variable stars as stellar population tracers for Galactic archaeology and near-field cosmology with observational data from 4-8 m class telescopes. He is involved in several multi-wavelength time-domain surveys such as VVV, ZTF, LSST, and in specific projects with TESS and Gaia space missions. His theoretical interests include stellar evolution and pulsation modeling with the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), open-source 1D stellar evolution code
