Welcome
Hi! Currently, I'm working as a Prime Minister's Research Fellow (PMRF) at the Department of Physics (Joint Astronomy Program), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. I'm interested in the area of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Earlier, I was a postgraduate student at Jadavpur University, Kolkata.
​
I am a theoretical astrophysicist working on fluid problems related to astrophysical shocks, cosmic rays, Interstellar medium, and star clusters. My present research focuses on star clusters as a source of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs). I use both simulation and analytic methods to study these problems.
Research Highlights
Recent gamma-ray observations from the WD1 cluster can be explained by considering the scenario of cosmic ray acceleration in the cluster. This establishes star clusters as a potential site of cosmic ray acceleration. Details can be found here.
Cosmic rays (CRs) originating from young star clusters can be a potential second component of Galactic CRs which can dominate the all-particle CR spectra in the range of 10-1000 PeV (maroon dashed line in the figure). Details can be found here.
