Research Interest (s) : I started my career with nuclear astrophysics, working on numerical modelling of neutrino emission from core-collapse supernovae. Since then, I have moved on to observational studies of stellar and planetary phenomena. I still remain interested in the end stages of stellar evolution, and in the fate of the by-products of supernovae explosions. Therefore, my research covers optical, UV, and x-ray studies of core-collapse supernovae in massive stars, x-ray and UV studies of supernovae remants, as well as x-ray and optical observations of neutron stars -- both isolated and in binaries. I also study post-MS evolution of low mass stars, via optical, UV and x-ray studies of planetary nebulae. Most of my work is in stellar physics, but as my publication list shows, I do occasionally venture in to studying explanets and comets in the optical with 2-m class telescopes!
