I recently graduated with an Integrated Masters in Physics from NISER and am an aspiring Astrophysicist. I like to tackle research problems using analytical and numerical modelling and simulations. I am interested in studying dynamical systems like binary stars, planetary disks, and accretion around compact objects, among others. I am also curious about systems where relativistic phenomena are at play. My Master's thesis was on the Gravitational Wave emission from Neutron stars undergoing Common Envelope Evolution. Common Envelope (CE) systems are binaries in which one star (the primary) has reached a late stage of its evolution and expanded into a red giant, and the other star (the secondary) gets engulfed by this expanded envelope. Hence, the secondary and the primary core orbit each other within a shared envelope. I developed a CE module in the 1D stellar evolution code MESA to model the hydro-dynamical expansion of the envelope during this phase. I compared my findings with a previous result that assumed a static envelope throughout the CE evolution.

Apart from physics, I am passionate about art and enjoy crocheting. I love the outdoors, and I especially like to go on treks.
