Studying planet-disk interactions using hydrodynamics models | 2025 – Present
Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University, Beijing, China.
- Supervisor: Prof. Ruobing Dong
- Modeling the interactions between forming planets and their parental disks to understand the origin of observed disk substructures.
Constraining the disk gas mass through chemical tracers | 2023 – Present
NISER, Bhubaneswar.
- Supervisor: Dr. Liton Majumdar
- Developed a self-consistent gas-grain thermochemical code to study planet-forming regions and constrain the mass available for giant planet formation.
JWST Observations & Ice Inventory Pipeline | 2025
- Designed the initial stages of an algorithm to constrain ice column densities from JWST observational data.
Three-phase gas-grain astrochemical code | 2022 – 2024
- Lead developer of a comprehensive three-phase gas-grain astrochemical model with isotope and spin-state chemistry.
Modeling rocky exoplanets using Machine Learning | 2024
- Built a recurrent neural network (RNN) model using
scikit-learnandVPLANETto predict the interior evolution of terrestrial exoplanets.
Tinkering & Projects
I like to tinker around with existing and abandoned scientific software from my field(s) of interest, often exploring recreational re-implementations of them in modern languages like Rust and Julia, along with the ever-present Fortran, C, C++ and Python. You can learn more about them here.
Knowledge Base
I maintain a knowledge base of my research in an Obsidian vault and hosted as a website here.
