My research specializes in general relativity and cosmology. My work in general relativity involves the study of force free electrodynamics with the aim of describing the nature of relativistic jets coming out of rotating compact objects. My work in cosmology focuses on the study of large-scale structure formation in the Universe with inelastic Dark Matter using numerical simulations.
