Selected Research Accomplishments:

• Discovery of a large number of young brown dwarfs in the core of Galacticstar forming regions W3 (Main) and NGC 7538 by carrying out deep and high-resolution near infrared observations. These works established new insights aboutthe initial mass function, viz., there is no sharp turnover around the substellarlimit corresponding to the hydrogen-burning limit.

• Evidence of a new class of variable based on a long-term optical and infraredmonitoring and study of post-outburst phases of McNeil and LDN 1415 nebulae.

• Convincing evidence of the “small-scale sequential star formation” hypothesis oftrigger for star formation, from careful studies of age-sequences in a large sampleof star clusters associated with bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs).

• Global characterisation (metallicity, mass loss rate, etc.) of asymptotic giantbranch (AGB) stars in the inner Galactic bulge from infrared studies.

• Discovery of “Thick Disk” population in our Galaxy based on star counts andkinematical (e.g., proper motions) studies. This work appears prominently in theclassical text book “Galactic Astronomy” by Binney & Merrifield (1998).
