RESEARCH INTERESTS
Primary Research Area : Theoretical and Observational Studies of Planetary Upper
Atmospheres and Ionospheres
My current
research interests are :
Aurora and airglow processes in planetary atmospheres, chemistry
of planetary and cometary atmospheres and
ionospheres, charged particle acceleration and precipitation in gases, Monte
Carlo simulations of processes in the atmospheres, interaction of energetic
neutral atoms (ENAs) with atmospheres, Planetary ENA
imaging, space weather studies, ground-based and space-based multi-spectral
studies of planetary bodies, multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy of
planetary emissions, and comparative planetology.
The planetary bodies on which I have worked include,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
