I am an astrophysicist (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) who studies the large-scale structures of our universe to understand plasma processes, magnetic fields, particle acceleration mechanisms, and structure evolution. I also investigate the role of supermassive black holes in AGN-driven feedback effects and neutral hydrogen lines in galaxy groups/clusters. My research utilizes observations from the most sensitive radio (MeerKAT, LOFAR, JVLA, uGMRT) and X-ray (Chandra and XMM-Newton) telescopes. I have extensive experience with processing data from the new-generation radio telescopes. I develop and optimize data analysis techniques.

Since February 2023, I am working at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, USA. I completed my PhD at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany in 2018. From 2018-2022, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Physics & Astronomy Department, University of Bologna, Italy. Here, I was a part of Prof. Franco Vazza group.
