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. I’ve been part of the UVIT team since 2016. UVIT is a high-resolution ultraviolet space telescope onboard India’s AstroSat mission. You can explore some of its stunning images here.

Access UVIT science-ready data (Data Release Version 7) via the PRADAN AstroSat Archive. You can read more about this release in the UVIT Data Release Version 7 article.

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

Find my publications on SciX. 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.
