Overview
A quick introduction to my scientific profile
What I work on
I work on solar magnetic-field evolution across multiple cycles, combining observations, transport modeling, and data-centered methods to better understand long-term solar variability.
What this site is for
I want this site to serve as both a research profile and a growing archive: publications, articles, future software, and eventually project-specific pages.
Start from the strongest entry points
Research gives the map, publications provide the record, and articles will carry the longer-form explanations.
Journey
From Bihar to heliophysics research
My early years were shaped far from the typical centers of scientific training, which continues to influence how I think about access, persistence, and long-term growth.
Undergraduate and master’s study gave me the formal grounding to move toward astrophysics and more quantitative work.
My PhD focused on long-term studies of the Sun and the kinds of modeling and interpretation needed to connect observational records to solar dynamo questions.
My current work centers on historical reconstruction, magnetic-map building, and physically grounded data products for heliophysics and space-weather applications.
Research Style
How I like to build scientific work
Principles
- Keep models tied closely to physical interpretation.
- Build archives and pipelines that other people can reuse.
- Prefer workflows that remain readable after the paper is published.
- Use ML where it strengthens the science, not where it obscures it.
What that looks like in practice
- Cross-checking model output against multiple data products
- Designing full-Sun maps that preserve provenance
- Turning one-off analysis into stable workflows
- Writing with future project pages in mind
Experience
Key stages of research work so far
- Historical reconstruction of solar surface magnetism
- Cross-calibrated, ML-ready magnetic-field products
- AFT/SFT modeling and far-side active region integration
- Comparisons to synoptic maps and polar-field diagnostics
- Rapid prototyping for heliophysics-flavored ML workflows
- Long-term solar variability studies
- Observational interpretation and dynamo-facing questions

The publications page is the most complete archive today, and the articles page is where longer-form explanation will grow next.
