Projects (ongoing)

Title: Probing the (P)Reheating Epochs of the Early Universe by Gravitational Waves in Inflationary Models
PI:  Prasanta Kumar Das
Funding agency: Anusandhan National Research Foundation(ANRF), SERB, Government of India

Objectives: The aim is to study the early universe cosmic acceleration in the light of primordial gravitation wave and the late time cosmic acceleration using a wide-variety of dynamical dark energy models.
