Main Focus

I specialize in solar and stellar astrophysics, with a primary emphasis on numerical modeling of solar and stellar dynamos, the formation of magnetic structures, and coronal heating. My expertise lies in elucidating the interplay between stellar dynamos and their coronae, modeling dynamo processes within the Sun and other stars. Specifically, I excel in elucidating turbulent processes governing magnetic field generation, employing analytical techniques such as the test-field method. Additionally, I am a key contributor to the development of the Pencil Code—a noteworthy achievement in my profile.
