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.
My areas of interest are:
Advanced data analysis methods and algorithms
Radio interferometry
Polarimetry
Radio-interferometric calibration and imaging
High dynamic range imaging
Radio-interferometric data simulations
Epoch of Reionization
Gravitational lensing
Computational methods
