Science comics and writing

I love making comics illustrating aspects of supermassive black holes, galaxy evolution and gravitational waves. You can find my comic on massive black hole formation published here in ClubSciWri.

I’m working on a seperate page for my comics :-)

I volunteered as a writer for Astrobites (2023-2025). Astrobites cover astrophysical literature and present it in format accessible to undergraduate students in the physical sciences who are interested in active research. You can find all of my articles here.

Science talks and workshops

These are talks I have given at UF Physics as part of the Graduate Student Postdoc Seminar organized by the Physics Graduate Community.

• Scripting the origin story of supermassive black holes, Sep 2024
• It takes three to tango: Massive black hole triples and the final parsec problem, Sep 2023

During my undergrad, I got to organize several lecture presentations and workshops. Below is a list of some of them.

• Relativity and Gravitation, Horizon summer school 2021, March 2020
• Physics of Compact Stars, Boltzmann Session, April 2020
• Analysis of Globular Clusters Using Colour-Magnitude Diagrams. Shaastra 2020, IITM, Jan 2020
• Universe on your computer, Sampark Workshop 2019, Oct 2019
• Surfing gravitational waves, Astro Week, Aug 2019
• An introduction to Astronomy, Sep 2018

Lectures on Youtube

I made a set of lectures on Python for Astronomy that aims to teach application of Python programming language in various aspects of Astronomy research. I could cover topics such as handling FITS files, making Color-Magnitude diagrams, curve-fitting and modeling data. The video playlist is available here.

Astronomy outreach

During my time as an undergrad at IIT Madras, I was fortunate to be part of several outreach activities as part of Horizon: the physics and astronomy club. I served as the head during 2019-2020. Checkout the club website for –> photos.
