I am an Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur working in the areas of Astrophysics and Cosmology. My research primarily aims to understand the physical state and evolution of the Universe during its first billion years, a crucial epoch that marks the formation of the first stars, galaxies, and cosmic structures.
