HELLO, I'M

I am an aspiring Astronomer and Astrophysicist.

​

I am pursuing M.Sc. Astronomy and Astrophysics student at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Universität Heidelberg, Germany. I have worked on the 'Bayesian Analysis of Detached Eclipsing Binaries (dEBs)' under the guidance of Dr. Kyle Conroy at Villanova University, US. Prior to this, I performed a detailed study in the Modelling and Analysis of Binary Stars as a Summer Intern at the Indian Institue of Technology, Bombay (IITB), India. Apart from this, I was an Honorary Fellow at the Varahamihir Astronomical Observatory, MPCST, Dongla where I was tasked to automate the telescope and dome for remote observations. Currently, I am focusing on getting more experience with the different wavelengths and techniques used in Observational Astronomy.

​

I received my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree in Physics from Fergusson College (Autonomous), Pune. Through the college's Astro Club, I have volunteered and outreached Astronomy and Astrophysics through various activities to college as well as school students. Talking about Astronomy and Scientific Thinking has always been my strength and never leaves a chance to encourage students to pursue what they like.

​

Apart from academics, I counsel students for becoming an Astronomer/Astrophysicist, various graduate study opportunities in the US and Europe, buying Telescopes, especially for the Indian subcontinent, and take Astronomy & Stargazing sessions (subject to availability at location).  For more information regarding this, please head to this page.

Along with Astronomy, I am an avid trekker and photographer, and love to cook!
