My name is Karpur Shukla (કર્પૂર શુક્લ in Gujarati; कर्पूर शुक्ल in Hindi). I'm currently a PhD student in the School of Engineering at Brown University. My current work is in the geometry of open quantum systems with multiple steady states described by Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindbladian (GKSL) dynamics; in applications of shortcuts to adiabaticity to fluxon dynamics; and in applications of Pomeranchuk instabilities to quantum batteries and novel energy storage technologies. Before my current appointment, I was a research associate and faculty member at the Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Department of Applied Mathematics at Flame University. I received my M.Sc. in physics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2016, and my B.Sc. in physics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2014.
