| My research interest is in galaxy formation and
star formation in "primodial" environment. Using telescopes at Mauna kea observatory, I am studying high-z QSO absorption systems to learn about the chemical evolution of the intergalactic medium at high-redshift. This will in turn provides valuable information on the galaxy formation process. Also, I am studying star formation in far outer Galaxy region and HI dominated dwarf galaxies to learn the detail of the star formation process in such a "primodial" environment. Also, I know a little bit about near-infrared instrumentation... |
