Polarization Study
Spectral and timing analysis is a powerful tool for studying emission processes in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs), but it provides limited insight into their physical structure. Introducing polarization as an independent diagnostic helps break this degeneracy, offering crucial information about the geometry and orientation of these systems. I am currently leading a series of research projects focused on this approach, including the first-ever multi-wavelength polarization study of X-ray binaries, combining data from both X-ray observatories (IXPE) and radio (VLA, ATCA) observatories.
Additionally, my current research includes coordinated X-ray and optical observing campaigns of X-ray bursters (Type-1 bursts), which I am carrying out together with graduate students from multiple institutions across different countries.
I am also involved in the Swift Bulge Survey working on the UV/X-ray follow-up of new faint X-ray transient sources found with the Swift Galactic Bulge Survey.
