Research interest:

I study cosmic dust, focusing on its formation in various stellar winds and outbursts and its impact on the photometric evolution of galaxies. Among various stellar transients, I especially work on core-collapse supernovae, to understand the physics and chemistry of these extreme astrophysical environments. Currently, I am a lead investigator on several James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) projects related to supernovae.

My research encompasses the following areas:
(1) The chemical evolution of galaxies
(2) Dust formation in supernovae of various types
(3) JWST observations of extragalactic supernovae
(4) Infrared features of Active Galactic Nuclei
(5) The dust budget of the high-redshift galaxies
(6) Chemistry of stellar winds - Red supergiants, Wolf-Rayet stars, Common envelope binaries
(7) The shock-dust landscape of novae and supernovae
