I am a Physics major, deeply fascinated by computational astrophysics and cosmology. I am especially interested the Galaxy dynamics and evolution, along with studying the properties of its sorrounding environment.
Check out some of my recent projects below!
Supervisor: Dr. Kuntal Misra, ARIES, Nainital

Here, we used spectral modelling to study mixing in supernova ejecta, particularly in Type
Iax systems, using a 1D
radiative transfer based spectral modelling software TARDIS. Understanding abundance mixing can help in
uncovering the dynamics
of the explosion of this peculiar supernova sub-class.

In this project, I analysed HST COS spectra of QSO sightlines to identify and resolve multiphase absorber systems to study the properties of Circumgalactic Medium of Galaxies. Specifically, I focused on a system tracing 106K Plasma, which contains a broad Lyα absorption system.

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 simulations of the motion of particles and light around the curved spacetime of a non-rotating black hole, using General Relativity.
Link to the Final Report.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 undergrads . 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.
