Background

I am a Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the Candian Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) and the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto. I work with Prof. Bart Ripperda and Prof. Aviad Levis on black hole spacetime tomography using neural radiance fields (NeRFs).

From Sept 2022 to Jul 2025, I was “la Caixa” PhD Candidate in the VLBI Group led by with Dr. José L. Gómez at Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA - CSIC), Granada, Spain.

Before joining IAA for my PhD, I graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Physical Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata in July 2022. For my Master’s thesis, I worked with Dr. Gómez during the academic year 2021-2022 to study magnetic fields in relativistic jets of supermassive black holes by analyzing multi-frequency VLBA polarimetric observations. I am honored to get funding for this project through the JAE-Intro Scholarship by CSIC, Spain.

During my undergraduate years, I worked with Dr. Emilia Järvelä to study radio emission from narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. I also worked with Prof. Robert Antonucci at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to study the polarization properties of quasars and radio galaxies.
