Vijit Nautiyal

Vijit Nautiyal is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. He is a theoretical physicist, educator and science education researcher at the University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. He was previously at the University of Queensland, Australia. His current research in theoretical physics involves studying quantum many-body thermal machines using one-dimensional Bose gases of ultracold atoms as a platform. He has also explored the optical properties of quantum dots under external perturbations in earlier works. Vijit collaborates regularly with teachers and educational researchers to organize quantum outreach activities for high school students. He is exploring the effectiveness of game-based learning in science education. Additionally, he is investigating the efficacy of using a history and philosophy of science-based approach to teach physics. His other interests include watching sports, going to the gym and making (and sharing) research-related memes.
