Prof. Ramaprakash's research interest is astronomical instrumentation. In the recent past, he has been largely involved in setting up the IUCAA Girawali Observatory, which has a 2m diameter optical, near-IR telescope and associated back-end instruments. He has also worked on CCD and near-IR detectors and data acquisition systems, cold optics and cryogenic design, testing and assembling, integral field units using optical fibres, OH-suppression spectroscopy, polarimetry etc. His observational interests relate to polarimetric studies of a range of astronomical sources such as pre-main sequence stars, brown dwarfs, galactic molecular clouds, and observations of transient phenomenae like GRBs and SNe.

Dr. Mitra works on observation of gravitational waves (GW) and cosmic microwave background (CMB). He has developed algorithms for accurate and efficient analysis of data coming from current GW and CMB experiments. For many years he is part of the LIGO-Virgo Scientific Collaboration, the IndIGO consortium and the Planck Collaboration.

Prof. Misra's research interests are in high energy astrophysics which includes accretion disk theory, study of spectral and timing properties of X-ray binaries, ultra-luminous X-ray sources, large-scale radio/X-ray jets of AGN and, lately, gamma-ray bursts. His research involves theoretical modeling as well as X-ray data analysis and interpretation. Prof. Misra is also interested in cross-disciplinary studies like non-linear dynamics of astrophysical systems, non-linear time series analysis and statistical classificiation schemes of astrophysical sources.
