Research areas

  • Early universe cosmology

I am broadly interested in the area of the early universe cosmology. More specifically, I am working on understanding the effects of reheating/ preheating on moduli stabilisation and also want to study how the existence of the moduli field can produce gravitational waves during preheating. I want also to study Primordial black hole creation from preheating at the end of inflation.
