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 HMRMHD code.
