About Me

I'm a BS Physics student at IISER Bhopal currently working at the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore. I'm passionate about Astrophysics, Radio Interferometry, and building computational tools that advance scientific understanding.

Currently seeking: Masters opportunities in Astrophysics
Research Focus: Radio interferometry, Black Hole X-ray Binaries, and the Epoch of Reionization
Side Quest: Scientific software consultancy & open-source contributions

Research & Projects

RRIVis: 21cm Visibility Simulator

A computational tool for generating synthetic visibility data for radio interferometric observations, specifically designed for studying the cosmic 21cm signal during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR).
