Curiosity, consistency, and patience are the main elements to learn anything. I will put my best efforts to teach. All are invited. Classes are especially for those who are having difficulty in understanding the Physics Concepts, visualizing physical phenomena.
I had also cleared NSEA and secured the Third Position in SOF International Olympiad I had attempted seminars and guest lectures on Pulsars and Neutron Stars, Astronomical Instrumentation, the evolution of stars, energy generation, and stellar structure.
