I have recently delivered the Astronomy lecture in the Frontier of Physics program-- designed to enrich the scientic backgrounds of Syracuse area high school students followed by a tour to the Holden observatory. It was a great fun!

Research: I am a Theoretical and Computational (Astro)-physicist. To be (little) more specific, I am a theorist who analyzes systems (primarily astronomical and/or cosmological) using field theories (classical: General relativity, Hydrodynamics, and quantum: QFT) in perturbative regimes. Please check the Research tab (above) to get a little more detail about my work.
