During my PhD, I developed models to use the cosmic infrared background
(CIB) as a tool to understand galaxy evolution as well as to derive
cosmological results in combination with the cosmic microwave background
(CMB). I also developed a new physically motivated halo model formalism
to calculate the power spectra of the
CIB, thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (tSZ), and the CIB-tSZ correlation
which act as foregrounds to the CMB data and should be accounted for while
performing the CMB data analysis.
During my first postdoc, I ventured into the field of the CMB weak
lensing and line intensity mapping (LIM). I joined the EXCLAIM LIM experiment
which aims to detect the [CII] emission at 2.5 < z < 3.5 in cross-correlation
with BOSS galaxies. I am also a member of the SPT-3G collaboration working
on a bunch of different projects involving CMB secondary anisotropies and
cross-correlations with large scale structure tracers like galaxies and clusters.
