BRIEF BIO
I am engaged in teaching and research at the School of Environmental Studies. My area of research spans solar physics, space-weather and cosmic rays. Currently, I focus on space-weather predictions and effects of solar-transient events on the near-Earth environment. Apart from this, I also study the kinematics of coronal mass ejections and geomagnetic storms.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Atmospheric Modulation of Cosmic rays, Coronal Mass Ejections, Cosmic rays, High Energy Accelerations, Solar Modulations, Space Weather
