Brief Bio


I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Heliophysics Science Division of Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The main focus of my research is to understand the energy transport mechanisms in the inner and outer solar atmosphere. During my Ph.D., I worked on the role of spicules in explaining the solar corona. The other aspect of my research interest deals with understanding the particle acceleration mechanisms in shocks driven by Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) using MHD-PIC simulations. I also analyze solar wind in-situ data to understand the wave-particle interactions in interplanetary shocks. Currently, I am involved in the development of multi-strand simulations using LaRe3D code which will help in better understanding the solar atmosphere.
