About Me

Durgesh Tripathi is a distinguished solar astrophysicist and Senior Professor at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA). A pioneering figure in Indian solar research, he is the Principal Investigator of the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) on ISRO's groundbreaking Aditya-L1 mission - India's first dedicated solar space observatory. His leadership has been instrumental in advancing India's capabilities in space-based solar observations. He also serves as an affiliate faculty at the Centre of Excellence in Space Science India (CESSI), IISER-Kolkata, and previously headed the Max-Planck Partner Group on Coupling and Dynamics of the Solar Atmosphere (2014-2021).

Prof. Tripathi earned his Ph.D. from the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research in 2005 before moving to the University of Cambridge, where he made significant contributions as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). His exceptional work earned him a prestigious Clare Hall research fellowship, a rare honor. He has held visiting positions at top international institutions, including the High Altitude Observatory (USA) and Kyoto University (Japan).

A recognized leader in solar and heliospheric physics, Prof. Tripathi has been the recipient of multiple prestigious awards, including the BUTI Foundation Award in Plasma Science (2017) and the Asia-Pacific Solar Physics Young Career Award (2024) for his groundbreaking contributions to solar physics. His research, spanning over 150 influential publications with 3,500+ citations, has shaped our understanding of the Sun's dynamic processes.

Beyond research, he plays a crucial role in the global scientific community, serving on the editorial boards of Proceedings of the Royal Society A, and RAS Techniques & Instruments (RASTI). He is also an elected member of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Division Steering Committee on the Sun and Heliosphere, helping shape the future of solar physics worldwide.

With a career defined by excellence, innovation, and leadership, Prof. Tripathi continues to inspire and push the boundaries of solar astrophysics, both in India and globally.

Research

  • Magnetic Coupling and Dynamics of the Solar Atmosphere -- dynamic events at diverse spatio-temporal scale
  • Sun Climate Relations -- Solar Spectral Irradiance in wavelength range that is central to Sun-climate relations
  • Space Missions: Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) on board Aditya-L1 mission of ISRO

The broad theme of my research is on the understanding of the dynamics and coupling of different layers of the solar atmosphere employing spectroscopic and imaging observations combined with theoretical and numerical modeling.

Observations from space-based and ground-based observatories have revealed that Sun's atmosphere is highly dynamic, showing changes in the complex magnetic structures on the timescales of minutes to hours. Recent developments in observational capabilities combined with theoretical and numerical modeling have significantly improved our knowledge and understanding of various highly dynamic physical processes occurring in the solar atmosphere, including their effects on space weather phenomena and geo-space climate. However, our understanding of the dynamical coupling in the solar atmosphere is far behind the complete comprehension.

Currently, we are using the observations recorded by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS), Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and Hinode, along with data taken from various ground-based observatories around the world.

Being the Principal Investigator of the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) onboard ISRO's proposed Aditya-L1 mission, I am also performing various studies in anticipation of the future observations recorded by SUIT.
