Focusing his work on observational and theoretical astrophysics, he is known to have assisted in widening the understanding of the bounds on the variation of fundamental constants using the absorption line spectra of quasars.[5] High-z proto-galaxies, time and space variation of fundamental constants, redshift evolution of the CMB temperature and formation and evolution of IGM have been some of the areas of his research.[6] His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[7][note 1] and Google Scholar, an online article repository of scientific articles, has listed 306 of them.[8] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to physical sciences in 2008.[9][note 2]

gollark: I mean, this code does seem like it might leak threads, come to think of it, so you may need an async solution.
gollark: I don't see what that has to do with it.
gollark: Yes, okay?
gollark: Actually, hold on, slight tweak...
gollark: It's... kind of inelegant, but something like this should work:```pythonimport threadingimport timeauthorized = Falsedef thing(): if correct_passcode_entered(): authorized = Truethreading.Thread(target=thing).start()time.sleep(5)if not authorized: sound_alarm()```
