Hi! I'm Gourav. I am a PhD student in the Department of Physics at the University of Alberta, where I work on exotic stars in globular clusters under the supervision of Prof. Craig Heinke. I hold a BS-MS dual degree in Physics, with a minor in Data Science & Engineering, from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal. When I'm not exploring the cosmos, I enjoy playing squash, cricket, volleyball, and swimming. I also have a passion for cooking and writing poetry.
