Profile

I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr Thomas Haworth. I completed my PhD at IISER Tirupati, India. My research interests include studying protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs and the role of star forming environment on their evolution using current observational facilities like JWST, HST, Subaru HSC, Gaia.

Research

Research Interests:

So far, I have mainly used optical, near and mid-infrared data to identify protoplanetary disks and brown dwarfs in stellar feedback-driven young star-forming regions. Currently, I am working on identification of photoevaporating protoplanetary disks (proplyds) in different star forming regions using JWST NIRCam data and derive related parameters. My primary aim is to develop a general understanding of how the star-forming environment affects circumstellar disk dissipation, which  is crucial to constrain the timescale for planet formation.
