I am an astrophysicist applying theoretical and computational techniques to uncover particle acceleration mechanisms in astrophysical plasmas and to predict their multimessenger signatures. My research connects cosmic rays, gamma rays, and neutrinos, advancing our understanding of high-energy phenomena such as stellar explosions and relativistic jets. I study the origin of cosmic rays through: (1) kinetic simulations of magnetized plasma turbulence to capture the microphysics of particle acceleration, and (2) multimessenger modeling of high-energy cosmic ray sources including their transport and interactions. I am also working on multimessenger probes for indirect dark matter detection. Currently, I am focusing on turbulence–particle interactions in electron-ion plasma and plasma instabilities to better understand energy transfer in astrophysical engines such as active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, and compact object mergers.
