Research Interest (s) : I am interested in chasing the chemical anomalies in stellar atmospheres to understand the evolution of stars and Galactic chemical evolution. In addition, investigate the connection between chemical anomalies, excess angular momentum, stellar activity, and infrared excess in stars across the HR diagram.
