Namaste! I am an assistant professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Delaware. I study turbulent plasmas in space and astrophysical systems. This site provides a brief overview of my activities.

The majority of natural systems are turbulent, with examples including atmospheric wind, oceanic currents, Sun's photosphere, solar wind, and supernova jets. My primary research focuses on understanding the fundamental nature of turbulence in weakly-collisional plasmas (mostly found in space and astrophysical systems), as well as the impact of turbulence on macroscopic properties of these plasmas. My research uses a combination of in-situ spacecraft data, simulations, and theory to address related questions.
My CV is here.
