ABOUT ME!

I am an aspiring Astrophysicist, looking forward to a doctoral degree and significant contribution to the paradigm of instrumentation, while improving how we understand space and our universe. Currently, I am focusing my knowledge in the research and development sector of Space-based telescopes and CubeSats, to better understand extragalactic space and potential worlds around distant stars. Through this R&D, I am on a quest to develop my own instruments for Space-based research and potentially become a PI on a state-of-the art space mission to be flown in the near future.

Why I chose Astrophysics?

Astrophysics to me has been a captivating area of study as it poses the relevant questions of how and why things work, as they work in the universe. I have found a deep fascination in studying it, as it is able to provide answers as well as evidence to such queries. Each answer leads to another set of questions and this pushes the knowledge horizons further. This is what I have found appealing about this branch. Even though these are early days to comment on the future prospects, I would, however, like to pursue my research in the arena of Instrumentation or Radio Astronomy. I believe that I have the zeal, passion, and dedication to commit myself to this vast field of science which can bring out the best in me.

Research

I am highly interested in the arena of Instrumentation. By helping build instruments that are sent out into space and analyze the data data that they collect, I wish to explore the frontiers of extragalactic space and the potential worlds around stars beyond our own solar system! Currently, I work for the following projects/groups:


I love to give talks and converse with people! Haha.
