Dr. Paranjape is interested in a number of topics in cosmology and gravitation: large scale structure, galaxy clusters, dark energy, primordial non-Gaussianity, general relativity, semi-classical effects near black holes and statistical techniques for cosmology. His recent work has focused on understanding the evolution of large scale structure using analytical methods such as the excursion set approach, the halo model, etc. as well as large volume N-body simulations to study the spatial distribution and evolution of galaxies, the inter-galactic medium and voids.

Prof. Narlikar is continuing his work in alternative cosmology, the so-called quasi-steady state cosmology, and is currently working on tests that distinguish it from the standard big bang cosmology. One such test involves searching for very old stars. Another of his interests is to look for microorganisms in samples of air collected by balloons from heights of up to 41km, as such organisms are likely of extraterrestrial origin.
