Research Specialization Auditory biophysics, especially otoacoustic emissions; Tuvan throat singing; Coupled/nonlinear oscillators; Signal processing in sensory physiology. I am primarily interested in auditory biophysics, chiefly in the context of how sound is transduced by the ear into neural impulses going to the brain. Remarkably, somehow in the process of being a very sensitive detector, the […]
Research Specialization Keywords: Astrophysical Transients, Fast Radio Bursts, Pulsars, Magnetars, Neutron Stars My research centers on observational studies of transient and variable phenomena in high-energy astrophysics. In particular, I study rapidly rotating neutron stars, called pulsars, their highly-magnetized cousins, called magnetars, and the mysterious phenomenon of fast radio bursts (FRBs). FRBs are flashes of radio […]
Research Summary I am interested in using theory to connect the earliest moments in our Universe’s history with observations and experiments today, with the goal of learning about the fundamental constituents of our universe. The big problems that I work on include the nature of dark matter (a key and so-far unidentified component that makes […]
Research Specialization In our group, we are interested in the structure and evolution of rocky planet interiors. Understanding planetary interior dynamic is crucial for interpreting planets as we see them today, discerning how they evolve, and knowing to what extent they develop favorable conditions for life. Planetary structure is commonly described as a series of […]
About me Cosmological structure formation, interstellar medium, feedback processes, fluid dynamics, radiation hydrodynamics, plasma physics, high performance computing, numerical algorithms. I am a computational astrophysicist working on modeling galaxy formation and evolution in a cosmological context. My interests include, investigating the role of various feedback processes in regulating the properties of galaxies, impact of plasma […]
Research Interests I research exoplanets, biosignatures, and habitability. My work is theoretical and computational in nature. I am interested in anything related to the field of astrobiology: the study of origin of life on Earth and the pursuit of detecting life on other planets or moons in the Universe. In the last decade we have […]
Research Specialization Tethered spacecraft systems; Multifunctional materials; Additive manufacturing in space; Computational solid mechanics; dynamics and control of space systems, machine learning; 3D printing in space, and CubeSat. My research interests include computational solid mechanics, dynamics of mechanical systems, and numerical methods and their applications in the aerospace and defence industries. I am particularly interested […]
Research Specialization Atmospheres of Earth and Mars; Applications of lasers to remote sensing (LIDAR); Laboratory simulations of the Martian environment. I specialize in the study of the atmospheres of Earth and Mars, primarily compositions, climate, and dynamics. To further atmospheric measurements, my group develops and applies laser remote sensing (or LIDAR) instruments for use from […]
Research Specialization Spacecraft dynamics, control and navigation; Formation flying; Active vibration control; Membrane structures; Smart materials and structures; Multi-agent systems; Motion synchronization; Trajectory design and optimization. I conduct research in spacecraft dynamics, control and navigation. I am particularly interested in cooperative and coordinated control of multiple vehicles, i.e., formation flying. Consequently, I must delve into […]
Research Specialization Planetary volatiles, from ices to atmospheres; Laboratory simulation of planetary bodies; Space mission operations, design, and data analysis; Planetary instrument design and development. My research interests lie in the planetary sciences, particularly planetary atmospheres and interactions with planetary surfaces. Questions that I address span the solar system, from Earth to Mars to Comets […]
