About
I completed my Ph.D. from the University of Calcutta in 2017 and completed my M.Sc from University's science college, popularly known as Rajabazar Science College. Interesting fact that S.N. Bose (the 'Boson' particle named after him) was an alumnus of the college. Enough of the chit-chats; coming to research expertise and interest - it include astrophysical and astrochemical aspect of low-mass stars (Solar type of stars) starting from very early molecular cloud stage down to protostars and protoplanetary disk. So, it includes observations (mainly mm-wavelength), astrophysical modeling, synthetic imaging, line and continuum radiative transfer modeling, kinematical properties such as infall, outflow of protostars etc., protoplanetary disk - planets, and astrochemical modeling (abundance calculation of chemical species under astrophysical conditions). Check the website for further details to follow updates on ongoing projects.
