FIELDS OF INVESTIGATION AND INTEREST: My primary research interests lie in the area of compact binary stars and accretion disks. Accretion onto compact ob jects is one of the most efficient energy generation mechanisms in the Universe and understanding the physics of accretion is one of the ma jor challanges for modern astrophysics. I use tomographic methods to indirectly image the emission regions of X-ray binaries at different wavelengths. I use a multi-dimensional approach to identify the nature of the compact ob ject (whether a black hole or a neutron star) in these systems. I am also very interested in providing serious education on science for non-science ma jors and on making science accessible for the general public.
