I hail from Kolkata - the city of Joy, India. I did my schooling from Julien Day School and Naktala High School (+2) and then bachelors from AJC Bose college (under University of Calcutta) and masters from the University of Calcutta. I did my PhD from S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences under Prof. Sandip K. Chakrabarti. I submitted my thesis in Sept 2002 but obtained the degree in 2003. I did two postdocs in Katholieke University of Leuven, Belgium (2002-2004) and C. N. University, Daejeon, South Korea (2004-2007). I joined in ARIES in 2007 and I am a faculty in ARIES since then. Total of three students have obtained PhD degree under my guidance (Dr Rajiv Kumar, Dr. Mukehs Vyas & Dr. Kuldeep Singh). The fourth student (Ms Shilpa Sarkar) has submitted her thesis and awaiting defence. Mr. Raj Kishor Joshi and Mr Sanjit Debnath are the current PhD students in my group in ARIES.
My main research interest is behaviour of matter around compact objects like black holes and neutron stars. Detailed study of accretion and outflow generation around these objects, how the outflows interact with surrounding medium, radiative processes which are dominant in system etc. We employ methodologies using semi-analytical techniques and also full blown numerical simulation. We have developed simulation codes using relativistic equation of state of the plasma and these codes can be and are being used to study accretion disc and jets.
