Interests

I am interested in finding how UV radiation from massive stars in a stellar cluster affect protoplanetary disks. The rate at which these disks deplete is crucial to constrain the timescale for planet formation. I study the observational signatures of ongoing photoevaporation called proplyds in various clusters like ONC, NGC 2024 to quatify the photoevaporation effect.
