PhD Student in Physics and Astronomy, Purdue University
My current interests lie in modelling the stellar atmospheres using CMFGEN code of massive O stars and analyzing their spectra. I am also interested in understanding the circumstellar interactions of massive stars and their evolution. Also, I look forward to learning and exploring more about highly energetic events like supernovae, gamma-ray bursts while working with the time-domain astrophysics group at Purdue.
