The project involved analyzing multi-wavelength data to understand gamma-ray active blazars' emission mechanisms and variability. This study revealed correlations between emissions at different wavelengths, shedding light on the physical processes behind relativistic jets and high-energy particle acceleration.
About me: I come from Mukandpur, a small village in Haryana, India. I earned my Master’s degree from Delhi University. After completing my Ph.D., I moved to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Currently, I lead NASA's Swift Observatory Guest Investigator (GI) Program. I also lead the multi-wavelength AGN follow-up group for the Rubin Observatory, enhancing research in transient and variable astrophysical phenomena.
