Research Initiatives

My research focuses on the intersection of observation, computation, and theory. Current projects leverage data from Chandra, DESI Legacy, and Python-based simulation tools to explore the high-energy universe.

Supernova

Type Ia Supernova Spectral Analysis

Supervisor: Dr. Syed Ashraf Uddin Shuvo

A comprehensive study investigating Type Ia supernovae spectral analysis using customized Spextractor. This project aims to query the supernova spectral data and determines the velocity, peW and more features by a single code. This project will make the supernova cosmology study more robust and ensure the proper data availability.

Galaxy Cluster

Cold Front Detection in Galaxy Clusters

Supervisor: Dr. Khan Muhammad Asad

An analytical pipeline buildup to identify and characterize cold fronts in galaxy clusters with semi-automation. Leveraging CIAO and DS9, this research processes high-resolution X-ray imagery to get the map and for exclusive Curvelet transformation's implementation. Additionally, this project focuses on finding the radio minihalos in those galaxy clusters.

Optics

PSF Buildup for ICL Detection

Supervisor: Dr. Syeda Lammim Ahad

Developing an accurate and fully automated Point Spread Function (PSF) model to correct optical distortions and detect the potential Intracluster Light candidates. We are using different Python libraries including SExtractor and Photutils to detect the faint object with more efficiency. Our first works are ongoing with DESI Legacy Survey.

Cosmology

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Cosmological Inflation

Supervisor: Dr. Rafid Mahbub

This project explores the use of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to model stochastic inflation in early-universe cosmology. It investigates how machine learning techniques can be combined with physical constraints to solve the differential equations governing inflationary dynamics.

Research Affiliations

I engage in hands-on astrophysics research, tackling both observational and computational challenges while collaborating with experienced researchers. By auditing advanced coursework, I try to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scientific problems. This experience has given me insight into the workflow, rigor, and curiosity required to contribute meaningfully to the field of astrophysics.
