Research

Dr Shetye's main area of research is solar physics. Her main interests lie in observational and theoretical studies of jets found in the solar atmosphere. Her specialization is in the dynamics of small-scale jets that potentially contribute towards the mass and energy transfer across the solar atmosphere. She has a keen interest in developing advance observational techniques, especially at the Dunn Solar Telescope. 

Dr Shetye also manages science operations at the Dunn Solar Telescope, Sunspot Solar Observatory. 

Dr Shetye is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, UK.
