I am a Third Year Integrated Master's student at NISER, Bhubaneshwar.
As a physics major, I am deeply fascinated by the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. I am especially interested in using computational modelling of astrophysical phenomena.
Check out some of my recent projects below!
Research Projects
Spectral Modelling of Type Iax Supernovae
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.
Earth as an Exoplanet
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.
Term Projects
Applications of Numerical Calculus in Multidisciplinary Problems
Project done as a part of the Computational Physics course (P346), where we numerically analysed real-world
problems using computational methods.
Personal Interests
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 worked on. 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.
(This website is still under development.)
