I have been working as an assistant professor at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. After finishing my PhD in Astrophysics from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, in 2015 (in collaboration with Pt Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur), I joined the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune, as a postdoctoral fellow for in-orbit instrument calibration of ISRO’s space mission AstroSat. Later, I received the Newton International Fellowship, awarded by the Royal Society, UK, and moved to the Department of Astronomy at the University of Southampton in the UK for further research on reverberation mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. 

My primary research focuses on using multi-wavelength astronomical observations and numerical simulations to understand the radiation geometry and mechanism around accreting compact objects, particularly black holes. I am also delving into the field of stellar and planetary astrophysics, including the monitoring of space radiation and orbital dynamics of low Earth objects (LEO), such as satellites and asteroids. 

I have established an advanced Darksky Observatory at IIT Hyderabad, hosting a 0.5m telescope for astronomical research.
