Welcome. I work at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA). My research focuses on interstellar medium of galaxies. I am involved in various observational projects with current and upcoming radio telescopes to trace the evolution of cold atomic and molecular gas content of galaxies using absorption lines. I am Principal Investigator of the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS), a large survey of HI 21-cm and OH 18-cm lines at the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) precursor MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. I am interested in observational techniques relevant to large blind searches of absorption lines at radio wavelengths. I lead the design and development of the Automated Radio Telescope Imaging Pipeline (ARTIP) responsible for processing vast amounts of MALS data (~1.7 PB raw) at IUCAA.
