I completed my graduation and post-graduation from the University of Delhi in 2017. I joined ARIES in 2018 to pursue research in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

My primary interest is in understanding the accretion mechanisms in magnetic cataclysmic variables. These interacting binary systems contain a Roche-lobe filling late-type secondary star that transfers material to a magnetic primary white dwarf (WD). The magnetic field of the WD plays a vital role in controlling the motion of the accretion flow within the effective magnetospheric radius. I use optical and X-ray data from ground-based and space-based observations to understand the accretion flow scenarios in these objects.
