My primary research interest lies in high energy cosmic transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts, Supernovae, Electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources and various other exotic transients. My research group studies these transients across the different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.  I am also interested in large surveys which result in the discovery and detection of new transients - the upcoming ILMT survey being the primary one in India.
