I am a nuclear astrophysicist who loves to understand the deep intricacies of our universe. With a PhD in nuclear astrophysics from Ohio University, I use principles of nuclear physics to understand cosmological events such as core-collapse supernovae, neutron stars, and binary mergers.

I am a passionate scientist with broad and in-depth knowledge in physics, mathematics, and programming. I solve complex problems using computational methods, data analytics, and machine learning, working daily with Python, NumPy, and SciPy for computational modeling.

Research

My primary research foci are the equations of state for core-collapse supernovae, neutron stars and binary mergers of neutron stars. I also work explore methods pertaining to crustal cooling of neutron stars. My primary research methods include quantum field theoretic calculations, mean field theory, Landau's Fermi liquid theory and finite temperature field theory. I also do model calculations using open-source software. I am a member of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics and am affiliated with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics .
