Research interests
- My research interest focuses on high-energy astrophysics and numerical relativity. The high-energy universe characterized by supernova explosions, binary star mergers, gamma-ray bursts, compact objects, and transient phenomena has motivated me to take up studies in high-energy astrophysics and numerical relativity. Particularly, I am interested in extreme astrophysical events and exploring their mechanism, evolution, and radiation processes.
- My research aims to deepen understanding of complex astrophysical phenomena through numerical simulations, focusing on advancing novel relativistic MHD code to model scenarios in relativistic astrophysics involving highly magnetized plasma. This work intends to explore the dynamics of relativistic magnetized jets, pulsar wind nebulae, pulsar winds, and black hole magnetospheres using novel HRMHD code.
