Research Interests

• Lyman Continuum leakage of massive, evolved galaxies.
• Characterizing the spatially resolved momentum, energetics, outflow rates, and effects of AGN feedback and outflows
• Emission line spectroscopy to trace gas properties; spatially resolved analyses using IFU and "IFU-like" data (Power of Slitless spectroscopy using JWST)
• Star formation suppression and quenching in Early type galaxies due to low luminosity AGN activity (maintenance-mode feedback), and their weak "winds".
• Using Lyman-alpha probe to understand high redshift galaxies and constraining known calibration relations up to high-redshift.
• Temporal symmetry, acceleration, and decaying mechanism of Blazars (AGN jets pointed towards our line of sight).
• Characterizing chromospheric spectral lines in Solar flares.
