Her research is on the emergence of new states of matter arising from strong interactions between electrons in quantum materials. She was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2020.

Early life and education Trivedi started her scientific career at the Indian Institutes of Technology. She moved to Cornell University for her graduate studies, where she worked on transport in disordered systems and quantum size effects in thin film heterostructures. After earning her doctorate, Trivedi was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and at the State University of New York in Stony Brook.

Research and career Trivedi started her career at the Argonne National Laboratory as an assistant scientist and got promoted to scientist. She then joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as a faculty in 1995. In 2004 Trivedi joined Ohio State University as a Professor in the Department of Physics. 2015 Simons Foundation Fellow 2019 Ohio State University Distinguished Scholar 2020 Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
