Hi! I am Akhil, a reseacher at the Centre for Excellence in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Department of Physics, Christ University, Bangalore, India.
I am passionate about unravelling galaxy formation and evolution mysteries, combining deep observations with innovative theoretical models. With expertise in both ground- and space-based observational astronomy, I explore the interplay between young and old stellar populations to uncover the dynamic processes shaping galaxies. I actively integrate data science techniques into astrophysics research, leveraging advanced methodologies to analyze complex datasets and drive discoveries.
Our publication represents the first Indian publication on extragalactic astronomy using the renowned James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Also, we'd like to emphasize that an article spotlighting this achievement was featured in the National Daily Deccan Herald on March 28th, 2024
We have discovered a new polar ring galaxy, attracting widespread recognition both nationally and internationally. The esteemed physics newsletter, phy.org, showcased our discovery in a headline titled "New ring galaxy discovered by Indian astronomers".
