He used the thermal Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect to study the effect of hot-ionized gas around galaxy clusters, and galaxy density field from Infrared survey to probe the galaxy bias and the cross-correlation properties. He cross-correlated thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich maps derived from Planck cosmic microwave background maps with the galaxy density field traced by infrared emission in WISE maps and with maps of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect derived from Planck cosmic microwave background maps as a second study. He found the best-fitting value for the hydrostatic bias, to be broadly consistent with the literature, found the linear galaxy bias to be the tighest till date. In his project, he equally introduces a new parameter that quantifies the contamination of the cosmic infrared background to tSZ-cross correlation studies with galaxy & ISW which is a first estimate of such studies Show less

      To date, the physics of the HI distribution in the universe is still an active subject of interest. While many previous experiments have tried to explore this and others taking observation: SKA, HIRAX, Tianlai, BINGO, CHIME (Jarvis et al. 2016, Newburgh et al. 2016; Xu et al. 2015; Battye et al. 2012; Bandura et al. 2014), there is need for an independent data from high-resolution telescope to look into this. The state-of-the-art Chinese largest ground-based radio telescope in the Northern Hemisphere known as the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST) is currently taking observations to provide us with a measurement of the main component of cosmic gas, atomic hydrogen (HI), from the local universe to moderate redshifts. Cross-correlating such versatile data with the full-sky Planck maps will enable us to study the spatial distribution of neutral hydrogen in the universe with great detail at certain cosmological scales.The primary objectives of this research includes: a)Probing the cosmic web and large-scale structureb) Exploring galaxy cluster physics and contraining relevant cosmological and astrophysical parameters.
