Hello! 👋

I am a project scientist at the AstroSat UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) Payload Operations Centre (POC), based at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore. UVIT is a high-resolution ultraviolet space telescope onboard India’s AstroSat mission. You can explore some of its stunning images here.

I have been part of the UVIT team since 2016. Currently, my primary focus is on creating a new UVIT data release.

I am passionate about open-source software—you can explore my work on my Github profile.

Find my publications on Google Scholar. I enjoy exploring new and challenging questions in astrophysics, especially those related to the role of supermassive black holes in shaping galaxies.

Beyond my professional work, I find joy in art, music, films, poetry, and all the little things that make life truly beautiful. I’m drawn to political values grounded in compassion and a deep desire to ease suffering wherever it exists.
