High Energy Astrophysics: Multiwavelength & Time-domain Studies of X-ray Transients

I am an observational high-energy astrophysicist specializing in the study of accreting compact objects such as neutron stars, black holes, and X-ray pulsars. My research combines fast X-ray timing, broadband spectroscopy, and emerging X-ray polarisation techniques to probe extreme gravity and magnetic fields around these systems. I lead multiwavelength campaigns across X-ray, optical, and radio bands to investigate transient phenomena and accretion–ejection dynamics. I am also actively involved in planning and contributing to upcoming observational facilities across UV, X-ray, and radio wavebands. As part of my community engagement, I have led discussions on compact objects for ISRO’s Space Science Roadmap formulation and serve as a member of the SKA Pulsar and Transients Science Working Group.
