3/27/2023 0 Comments Saoimage ds9 star trackingI like to volunteer for the Saturday Morning Astrophysics at Purdue program that educates younger students about physics and astronomy. Interests Besides doing time domain astrophysics research, I enjoy being part of the physics student council and helping fellow physics students navigate within the department of Physics and Astronomy. I also have experience in using astronomical tools such as SAOImage ds9 for creating finding charts of supernovae. I learned to calibrate fluxes and obtain precise photometry measurements using aperture-correction software called Aperture Photometry Tool and archival images from multiple public astrophysical databases. I have used advanced coding package Prospector and emcee ensemble sampler algorithm for high-dimensional stellar population inferences. Entered PhD program in Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University starting Fall 2021.Įducation Major: Physics honors and Mathematics Minor: Astronomy Graduated: May 2021 Expertise My project has mainly being focusing on Ca-rich transients. Part of the Milisavljevic group between 2019-2021. I would highly recommend Shades State Park which is only a short drive from campus as it is one of the only places in Indiana you can see the arms of the Milky Way with the naked eye. I’m also an amateur astrophotographer and Eagle Scout our of Troop 199 in Fishers Indiana. Interests Outside of physics I’m a member of the Purdue Pistol Team which nearly qualified for for nationals last year. It’s a fun challenge that has made me learn new skills every step of the way. My current work involves using machine learning to classify transients with sparse light curves augmented with correlated, but sometimes incorrect, data. I love the problem solving involved in data science and the unique way it has taught me to understand astrophysics. The main challenge has been working with the limited data available now to create systems for the future. Started work at STANLEY Security in June 2022.Įducation Physics, Honors Graduation: May 2022Įxpertise My projects this summer have focused on data science and it’s applications to big data in astrophysics. Part of the Milisavljevic group between 2018-2022. To constrain my models, I use observations ranging from high resolution HST images, sparse time-series photometry from large scale surveys, and X-ray/radio observations. I typically use MESA to model single and binary stars and STELLA to model their supernova light curves. in Physics and Astronomy NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Sep 2018 Certificate in Graduate Study: Integrated Data Science Northwestern University Jun 2018 Master of Science in Physics and Astronomy Northwestern University Sep 2013 Bachelor of Architecture (Honors) and Minor in Physics Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur Aug 2011 Expertise Stellar evolution modeling, supernova light curve modeling, large scale surveys, high performance computing, statistical methods, machine learning Interests I am interested in constraining the physics governing supernova progenitors by combining population-scale stellar evolution models with observations, using statistical inference and machine learning methods. New position at Caltech starting May 2021. Part of the Milisavljevic group between 2018-2021.
