I am an Einstein Fellow at the
California Institute of Techonology
working with Shri Kulkarni's group.
I am interested in, and have conducted active research on,
a broad range of astrophysical topics
including the transient sky, gravitational lensing,
and recently I become interested in
aspects related to the solar system's
cometary reservoirs, and their implications
to the formation of the solar system.
In the context of the transient sky I am interested mainly
in high-energy phenomena (e.g., SGRs
and radio transients
)
and I am involved with the
Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) -
a project aimed at systematically exploring the optical sky for transients
.
My solar system research is focused on detection, and measuring
the properties of the solar system's cometary reservoirs
using stellar occultations
.
