Expertise

• Gravitational Lensing (Astrophysics and Cosmology)

Current Research

1. Supernova Ia as standard candle. I use time evolution of spectral features like Doppler Shift, Equivalent widths and AI/ML to test if the local sample of Supernova Ia and the distant supernovae share the same parent population.
    

2. AI/ML in Climate:

   The extreme rainfall at various locations in Karnataka during the last 50 years and the Bay of Bengal Sea Surface Temperature are used to study the rainfall pattern of the interior Karnataka, which is pron to frequent drought and deluge conditions.
