Research Interests
My main research interests are accretion inflows and outflows near compact astrophysical sources such as black holes (BH) and neutron stars (NS). Understanding the physical processes that lead to complex instabilities in these accretion flows is one of the most challenging and exciting fields in high energy astrophysics. More …
