I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, working on radio-interferometric data simulations aimed at developing observing strategies for imaging the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). My supervisor is Prof. Leon Koopmans.

Before this, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics & Electronics at Rhodes University in South Africa, working on wide-band, widefield, full-polarization radio-interferometric calibration techniques to facilitate high dynamic range imaging. My supervisor was Prof. Oleg Smirnov.

I obtained my PhD in Astronomy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the USA. The title of my PhD thesis was ''Radio-Polarimetric Observations of Gravitational Lenses''. My advisor was Prof. Athol Kemball of the Department of Astronomy and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).

I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in India.



I am currently looking for a job.
