FIELDS OF INVESTIGATION AND INTEREST:
My primary research interests lie in the area of compact binary stars and accretion disks.
Accretion onto compact objects is one of the most e#cient energy generation mechanisms in
the Universe and understanding the physics of accretion is one of the major challanges for
modern astrophysics. I use tomographic methods to indirectly image the emission regions of
X­ray binaries at di#erent wavelengths. I use a multi­dimensional approach to identify the
nature of the compact object (whether a black hole or a neutron star) in these systems. I
am also very interested in providing serious education on science for non­science majors and
on making science accessible for the general public.
