My specific research interest lies in the study of compact objects, mainly the cause of relativistic outflows in stellar mass compact objects. These outflows are usually radiation feedback, stellar winds and/or relativistic (collimated) jets. Multi wavelength observations of stellar-mass compact objects can shed some light on the existence of the outflows. I think, one can seek scale-invariant connections between the interplay of accretion and outflows in blazars/AGNs and accretion in compact objects. Apart from an interest in the outflow of compact objects, I also have a keen interest in studying the mass transfer in high mass X-ray binaries. This can help us understand the evolution of binary systems in much more detail, and can also give leads on the accretion outflows. The varied spin behaviour of X-ray pulsars, I believe, may also have something to do with the rate of accretion of the neutron star in study.
