Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOm Gupta is a DPhil student at Oxford's Mathematical Institute with five years of research and software experience at the intersection of high-energy theoretical physics and practical engineering. He has contributed to cutting-edge SYK-model and plasma-instability research, discovering a surprising non-monotonic thermalisation behaviour in finite-temperature SYK and deriving useful scaling laws for curvature-driven instabilities relevant to tokamak edge modelling. Complementing his theory work, Om has hands-on backend experience in open-source finance tooling through OpenBB, where he fixed ETF and technical-analysis bugs, added tests, and improved crypto-heatmap robustness. He holds an MMathPhys (Distinction) from Oxford and ranks highly in his cohort, indicating strong mathematical rigor. Comfortable moving between analytic theory and production Python code, he brings an unusually broad toolkit for a junior researcher: from quasinormal-mode analytics to API-level bug fixes.
