I am interested in studying the propagation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in the solar atmosphere and looking into wave-related phenomena there. For that, I perform realistic numerical simulations of various regions of the Sun such as quiet sun, active regions, sunspots etc. and use data analysis techniques to detect wave signatures and their association with observables.

Since August 2022, I am working as an Assistant Professor in the School of Physics at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Thiruvananthapuram. I am also currently the recipient of the DST INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship (2022 - 2027).
