Postdoctoral Researcher
My research focuses on uncovering the imprints of dark matter in the dynamics of galaxies.
Projects
I am interested in unveiling the footprints of dark matter on various physical processes such as star formation, gravitational instabilities, turbulence, and their connections with the morphological evolution of galaxies. I use galaxies at different stages of evolution and morphological types as natural laboratories to probe the fundamental physical processes driving galaxy evolution. I utilize a combination of multi-wavelength observations, theoretical modeling, and N-body/hydrodynamical simulations to address key questions in galaxy formation and evolution. My research integrates theoretical modeling with data driven validation, leveraging big data from multi-wavelength surveys and cosmological simulations to test and refine theoretical predictions.
My current research quest is to understand galaxy evolution and formation using galaxies across redshift as probes to connect their dynamics to their structure through multi-wavelength observations, and then tracing this connection over cosmic time, and using it to constrain simulations and theoretical models of galaxy formation. First observe how galaxies evolve and then understand how they form!
Extracurricular activities
Outside of research, I enjoy long walks and reading.
