The point is not to pocket the truth but to chase it



My primary research interest is Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. At present I am mostly interested in investigating for new features of primordial universe as well as large scale structure. This includes developing new models and techniques, extracting new informations and discriminating models using the individual and/or combined datasets from different cosmological observations.

Here are the major Research Topics I am interested in :

INFLATION AND PRIMORDIAL UNIVERSE

COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND RADIATION

DARK ENERGY & HUBBLE TENSION

LARGE SCALE STRUCTURE

21-cm COSMOLOGY

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES COSMOLOGY

ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS

I will come out with a small write-up on each one of them sometime later. Till then you can have a look at my publications .
