  • Head, Physics

Research Areas

  • Astrophysics
  • Cosmology
I work in the areas of Astrophysics and Cosmology. My research is currently focused on using low frequency radi telescopes to study the high redshift universe using the redshifted 21-cm radiation from neutral hydrogen. We are involved in theoretical, computational and also observational work connected to this issue.
