Biography
Disha Bhatia works in the field of particle and astroparticle physics. She completed her PhD degree from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 2019. Since then, she has worked in various institutes as a research associate. In her research, she has adopted an interdisciplinary approach and has tackled problems ranging from flavour physics to collider physics to dark matter physics. A common theme of classification unites various aspects of her research.
She is passionate about teaching and has engaged in community teaching activities for underprivileged children. She served as a teaching assistant for various basic and advanced courses during her PhD and postdoctoral periods. She has also actively participated in the online version of the Vigyan Vidushi programme aimed at women candidates in their master’s programme.
She feels that physics and mathematics are often considered as challenging subjects. She, through her teaching, endeavours to make physics more enjoyable and less daunting to students.
She likes to read books, listen to music, and enjoys long walks.
