• Investigated fluid flow around and through solid circular cylinder with porous surface at Reynolds numbers 5-1000
• Inspected effects of Darcy number and permeability on drag and lift coefficients, Strouhal number and vorticity magnitude and ran preliminary simulations using RANS models for higher Re regime

• Completed a project under the supervision of Dr Anand Bharadvaja (Atomic and Molecular Physics) on the topic 'Role of Electron Ionisation Mass Spectrometry in Modelling of Dissociative Ionisation Process'

Co-authored several research papers on electron and positron-impact scattering:-

• 'Positron Scattering from Pyrimidine', published in Atoms, Volume 11, Issue 3 (March 2023)
• 'Electron-impact partial cross sections of Ethanol', published in Pramana, Journal of Physics, Volume 97, Issue 3 (August 2023)
• 'Electron Scattering from Pyrimidine up to 5 KeV', published in Brazilian Journal of Physics, Volume 54, Issue 4 (May 2024)

• Utilized Python to corroborate the findings of the paper by Maghrabi et al. using data from various QuarkNet data centres made available through FermiLab to study the variation of muon flux over a period of 11 years (or approximately one solar cycle) and study its dependence on parameters such as sunspot number (SSN), interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), DST and Kp index

• Devised a simple method to estimate cosmological parameters such as redshift, luminosity distance, etc. from CBC events
• Employed bilby, a python library used for Bayesian analysis for parameter estimation as well as MCMC techniques
