I am working on the theory of nuclear structure, heavy ion reactions and channel couplings at low energies and clustering phenomena in the excited compound nucleus, which has direct implication to astrophysics problems. The work done by me so far has the potential of getting extended in many other directions for obtaining a good understanding of nuclear structure in general and nuclear dynamics in particular.
