My research interests revolve around compact object systems, particularly black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries (XBs). I focus on the properties of accretion flows around compact objects, examining the geometry of the accretion disk and corona and on how these flows evolve during spectral state transitions. I am also interested in accretion-jet coupling, as well as the physical properties of the compact and companion stars in X-ray transients. Towards my interests, I have been studying the spectral, temporal, and polarisation properties of X-ray binaries using a mix of traditional astronomy and modern machine learning methods.

A short outreach video for National Science Day 2024, organised at IUCAA, India, where I explain my research in X-ray astronomy and its broader impact. Stay tuned for more such videos in the future!
As I continue in my research journey, I sometimes sit back and try to put down what I have learnt in the form of poems. Here are some of them:
