I am interested in doing anything that intrigues me. Currently, the focus of my work is primarily on various Plasma Turbulence processes and their effect on emission from various astrophysical sources. I am doing code development regarding the simulation of these processes.
I am also interested in statistical field theory and its application to complex systems. Field theoretical techniques have also been used to study plasma turbulence, and they turned out to be very useful to describe turbulence.
