Research Interests Multi-messenger astroparticle physics: gamma-rays, neutrinos and gravitational waves, association with high and ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. Flux prediction over a wide parameter space for current and up-coming high-energy astroparticle experiments. Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays: modeling of propagation (including magnetic deflection and interactions), acceleration, production of secondary messengers. Physics of explosive transients: acceleration and production of transient multi-messenger emissions from gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars, blazars and newly discovered transients. Pulsar winds: as sources of high-energy multi-messengers, e↵ect on binary companions & supernova ejectas. Intergalactic magnetic fields: origins and current distribution, e↵ects on/constraints from high and ultrahigh energy cosmic rays, gamma-ray observations.
