Researches start formation in the H II region to investigate whether or not initial mass function and circumstellar disk evolution are affected by star forming environment. Additionally she researches debris disks around sun-like stars to study whether our solar system is common or rare.  She focuses on multi-wavelength observational studies of start forming regions in H II regions using both ground based and space based telescopes.  She is looking at star forming regions that are young clusters in H II regions where triggered mode of start formation is suggested.

Research Interests
Astrobiology, star and planet formation, galactic astronomy, circumstellar disk evolution
