I'm a student from India drawn to the universe — how it works, what we can measure about it, and what it takes to actually find that out. I explore astronomy and astrophysics through independent research, alongside computer science, entrepreneurship, and a handful of things that have nothing to do with either.
Astronomy and astrophysics are where my curiosity runs deepest — exoplanets, stellar systems, and the kind of questions that don't have tidy answers yet. Computer science is the toolkit I lean on to actually chase those questions, and it's also my intended field of study.
My current focus is an independent research project analyzing radial-velocity data associated with the exoplanet TOI-2049 b — but that sits alongside a much wider set of interests, from music and sport to running a small community and volunteering locally. More on that below.
An independent research project investigating archival radial-velocity observations associated with the exoplanet TOI-2049 b. The project explores how periodic stellar motion can be analyzed to study planetary signals — from raw measurements to an orbital model.
These values are preliminary and independently derived — not final published parameters.
Long before the TOI-2049 b project, astronomy was something I did for its own sake — watching the sky, tracking events, and reading about the universe out of curiosity rather than obligation. It's the reason the research exists in the first place, not the other way around.
Independent radial-velocity analysis of an exoplanet system — period search, phase folding, and orbital modeling. Full write-up in the Research section above.
A future computer science project will be documented here — code, methods, and outcomes.
This slot is reserved for the next software or computational project.

Coming soon — research and technical writing. This space will hold research papers, astronomy articles, technical write-ups, research notes, and science explanations as they're completed.
