I am currently a post-doc at
at Department of Physics & Astronomy at Vanderbilt
University working with Kelly Holley-Bockelmann.
I finished my PhD from Department of Astronomy &
Astrophysics at Pennsylvania State University in 2008.
My thesis was on "Numerical Simulations of Hot Halo Gas in Galaxy Mergers", where I ran a suite of high-resolution
numerical simulations to study the effects of the hot gaseous halos in galaxy mergers. More details about this can be
found in my reseach page - here.
I am a computational astrophysicist. My interests lie in numerical simulations towards understanding galaxy
formation and evolution, and the inter-play between blackhole/AGN and galaxy growth. Vanderbilt also recently
got involved with SDSS III and LSST.
This brings in an incredible access to data and lots of new project ideas that are bound to become feasible. If
its not clear already, I am very excited about these new developments.
