University of Hyderabad Hyderabad, Telangana-500046, India.
I am a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Physics, University of Hyderabad, working in the field of theoretical and observational aspects of cosmology and high-energy astrophysics, with a particular emphasis on magnetohydrodynamic processes and phenomena in the early universe. My work focuses on understanding magnetic reconnection and shock dynamics in extreme environments, especially in the wakes of cosmic strings. I investigate how magnetic fields are generated in these wakes, the reconnection rate, and the resulting shock interactions that can release significant kinetic energy. These studies aim to uncover potential electromagnetic signatures of cosmic strings, including short-duration gamma-ray bursts and other high-energy transients that may carry imprints of the early universe. I am also interested in observable effects such as synchrotron radiation from cosmic string wakes and their relevance to astrophysical surveys.
In addition, I study the behaviour of matter in strong-gravity environments and modified spacetime geometries. My research on particle motion in $\kappa$-deformed Schwarzschild spacetimes explores how noncommutative corrections can modify geodesic trajectories and influence dynamics near black holes. I have also investigated accretion processes in $\kappa$-deformed and RG-improved black hole backgrounds, examining how Planck-scale effects modify orbit structure, disk luminosity, flux distribution, and temperature profiles. Through these studies, I aim to connect theoretical models of topological defects, magnetohydrodynamics, and quantum-gravity-inspired spacetimes with observable signatures in high-energy astrophysics.
