Welcome
I am a faculty member at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), where my research addresses fundamental questions in astrophysics, including how and where stars and stellar clusters form in the Universe, and how newly formed stars interact with their surrounding interstellar medium to regulate star formation at the scale of their host molecular cloud. I investigate these problems through multiwavelength astronomical observations using both ground- and space-based facilities. In particular, I employ radio, millimeter, infrared, and optical observations to study the physical properties of stars, as well as the gas and dust associated with their formation environments. Further details of my research can be found on my research page, and a complete list of my publications is available on my publications page.

Magnetic field Topology and Star Formation in the Cepheus B Filamentary cloud under External Feedback.
In a recent work, we disscussed the star formation in the Cep-B filamentray cloud. We find Cep-B represents a system in which gravity drives fragmentation, B-fields regulate its evolution, and external feedback shapes both its morphology and star formation activity at the head of the filament (for details see Sandhyarani et al. 2026).
