About
I am a Research Faculty at the Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. I earned my PhD from IISER Pune, India in 2018.
My research focuses on the physics of solar coronal mass ejections (CME) in the solar wind, with an emphasis on numerical modeling and space weather applications. My broad interests include improving the predictive capability of space weather models, understanding the CME initiation mechanisms, and quantifying the impact of data on models.
