Research interests

• Obserational Cosmology
• H1-21cm Cosmology
• Machine Learning applications
• Radio Astronomy
• Plasma physics
• Pulsars

My field of interest is primarily cosmology with the 21cm line of neutral Hydrogen. Observations of HI 21 cm transition line would be an important and promising probe into the cosmic Dark Ages and Epoch of Reionization. Detection of this redshifted 21 cm signal is one of the key science goal for several upcoming and future low frequency radio telescopes like Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), Square Kilometer Array (SKA) and Dark Ages Radio Explorer (DARE). Currently, I am working on the application of machine learning algorithms to extract this faint cosmological signal from a sea of very bright foregrounds.
