Research

Research interest: Theoretical/computational Astrophysics & Plasma Physics (primary), Multiwavelength studies  of circumgalactic medium (secondary)

Some movies from earlier works!

Primary projects that I have leading contributions on (and topics I am currently interested in):

• How to model macroscopic sources of free energy and transport phenomena in diffuse,  magnetized plasmas with a sub-dominant fraction relativistic particles? Role of kinetic instabilities in transport

• How to produce "cold front" spirals in weakly magnetized clusters? Thermal MHD instabilities

• AGN feedback in cluster cores: what matters compressive or incompressive mode?

• Distinguishing the physical scenarios between isobaric and isochoric thermal instability: cloud shattering and length scales 

• Modeling intracluster and circumgalactic medium with a novel approach across redshifts and benchmarking key aspects of galaxy formation physics in the model  [PhD thesis component]

• Evolution of isobaric thermal instability in the galaxy cluster cores and cores of circumgalactic medium
  [PhD thesis component]

Short-term undergraduate students' projects proposed by me (Part III Natural Sciences at University of Cambridge):

• Modeling self-consistent temperature dependent quasar mode feedback in cluster cores 

• Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the IGM filaments entering clusters

• G-mode turbulence triggered by jetted AGN feedback in clusters  

Contribution to the science case in clusters and groups of galaxies for AXIS - a probe class X-ray mission now selected for Phase A at NASA.

• Details of microphysics in the diffuse ICM/CGM using X-rays
