Namaste, welcome to my homepage!I am an Assistant Professor (Scientist-E) at the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune, India. Before this, I was a Marie-Curie Fellow at the INAF Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte, Italy, an East Asian Observatory Core Associations (EACOA) Fellow at the Center for Large Telescopes, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, South Korea, and a KIAA and Boya Fellow at the Kavli institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University, China. I received Ph.D. in astronomy in Jan 2018 from the Department of Physics & Astrophysics, University of Delhi, India, which also included one year studentship at ESO, Germany.
