  • 2025 –
    Studying planet-disk interactions using hydrodynamics models
    The 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.
  • 2023 –
    Constraining the disk gas mass through chemical tracers
    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.
  • 2025
    JWST Observations & Ice Inventory Pipeline
    Designed an algorithm to constrain ice column densities from JWST NIRSpec/MIRI observational data.
  • 2022 – 2024
    Three-phase gas-grain astrochemical code (PEGASIS)
    Lead developer of a comprehensive three-phase (gas, surface, bulk ice) astrochemical model with isotope and spin-state chemistry.
  • 2024
    Terrestrial Exoplanet Interior Modeling (Machine Learning)
    Built a recurrent neural network (RNN) surrogate model using scikit-learn and VPLANET to predict the interior thermal evolution and degassing of rocky exoplanets.

Software and Programming

I explore recreational re-implementations of classical astrophysical gas-grain and disk hydrodynamics solvers in modern languages like Rust and Julia , alongside Fortran, C, C++, and Python. Learn more on my software notes page here .

Knowledge Base

I maintain a personal research vault in Obsidian hosted as a website here .
