Research

I did my Ph.D. in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto. I worked on the GMRT-EoR project, which tried to measure the power-spectrum of neutral hydrogen structure at a redshift of about 9, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in India. While my academic research interests are observational cosmology and structure formation in the early universe, I have since left academia and am now working as a software developer and tester.
