Ubaid Tantary received his Ph.D. from the Center for Nuclear Research at Kent State University, USA, in 2024 and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Winnipeg Institute for Theoretical Physics and Brandon University, Canada, before joining PMU in 2025. He is broadly interested in quantum field theory. Much of his work concerns the thermal properties of interacting quantum fields and the dynamics of systems away from equilibrium. He is also interested in connections between quantum field theory and gravity. He has taught classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and special relativity, and helped design the course Seven Ideas That Shook the Universe at Kent State.
