Research Interests

Theoretical and observational aspects of temperature anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation: generation of intrinsic CMB temperature anisotropies during Hydrogen recombination, reionization and interaction of first metals with CMB photons, signatures of the growth of the large scale structure on the CMB via the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe and the Rees-Sciama effects, distortion of the CMB blackbody spectrum by hot electron plasma via the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect, imprint of pe- culiar velocities on CMB temperature fluctuations via the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect, study of bulk flows and constraints on Dark Energy due to growth of peculiar velocities measured by the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect, effect of local gas on the CMB temperature anisotropy field, study of correlation properties of excursion sets in Gaussian fields and applications on analyses of CMB maps.
