I am an astrophysicist with primary research interests in stellar astrophysics. The topic of my PhD is "Aspects of Binarity in the Life and Afterlife of Magnetic Massive Stars". My research is based on multi-wavelength data obtained from various telescopes around the world (e.g. uGMRT, MeerKAT, VLA, XMM-Newton, Chandra XRO, TESS, DOT, CFHT etc.). However, at this moment, I am most comfortable with radio telescopes. As the name of my PhD thesis suggests, the primary focus of my research is to study how magnetic stars in binary behave differently. Please see my 'research' page for more details, both in simple words, and with complicated terminologies.
As I said, I like to study random cool astronomy stuff, especially if the word 'binary' is involved. In astronomy, there are many types of couples. Some co-exist quietly (visual binaries); some bond quite well like a regular couple and help each other (spectroscopic binaries); some are really toxic (spoiler alert: one of them dies eventually); some are so far apart, but their bonding is too strong (binary AGNs); while some couples are potentially trying to bring new life (star-exoplanet system)! All of them are cool to watch from the earth. We are like the nosy neighbour who looks for spicy drama! Look for some here.
