As a physics major, I am deeply fascinated by computational astrophysics and cosmology. I am especially interested the Galaxy dynamics along with studying the properties of its sorrounding environment.
Check out some of my recent projects below!
Supervisor: Dr. Kuntal Misra, ARIES, Nainital
(Dec 2023 - May 2025)
The project involves detailed spectral analysis and modelling of Type Iax supernova ejecta. We
use a 1D
radiative transfer based modelling software TARDIS, to understand its mechanism
and possible
progenitors.

Supervisor: Dr. Sowgat Muzahid, IUCAA, Pune
(May 2025 - )
In this project, I analysed QSO spectra of to identify and resolve multiphase absorber systems to study the properties of Circumgalactic Medium of Galaxies.
Supervisor: Dr. Amit Shukla, IIT Indore
(May 2025 - July 2025)
I performed 2D MHD simulations using PLUTO to study magnetic reconnection and its effect on particle acceleration. I got to learn the physics behind it as well as familiarize myself with computational solving MHD equations.
(May 2025 - July 2025)
As a part of Krittika Summer Project 6.0 organized by Krittika Astronomy Club, IIT Bombay, I worked on computational modelling of General Relativity to simulate the motion of particles and light around the curved spacetime of a non-rotating black hole.

Supervisor: Dr. Jayesh Goyal, SEPS, NISER, Bhubaneswar
(June 2023 - August 2023)
A project studying the diurnal variation of Earth’s disk integrated emission spectra to model how the Earth would look like as a directly imaged exoplanet. This involved working with INSAT-3D data to analyse earth’s disk integrated spectrum over time.
Project done as a part of the Computational Physics course (P346), where we numerically analysed
real-world
problems using computational methods.

As a part of the NISER Astronomy Club, I love ocassionaly stargazing. I have given a talk on An Introduction to Positional Astronomy aimed at first and second years . I have also worked as an editor on NAC's Annual magazine Kshitij. I have also had the opportunity to work on various robotics projects as a part of the RoboTech Club. Here, I have learned 3D modelling and have worked on designing software backends for various projects.
I also am keen on web development. Check out NISER's Coding Club and Astronomy Club websites that I made. My other interests include watching old movies, going on treks, listening to music and tinkering around with a piano or a flute in my spare time.
