Abhishek Desai
Abhishek Desai received his Ph.D. in 2019 from Clemson University, South Carolina. During his Ph.D. he worked on studies pertaining to high energy astrophysics using observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Gamma Ray Bursts using the Fermi Large Area Telescope. He has also worked as an instructor of astronomy at a summer school by John Hopkins University, Center for talented youth. Abhishek’s research interests include understanding the extragalactic background light and using it to study star formation and evolution processes in the universe. At WIPAC, he is studying the multi-wavelength spectrum of AGN to determine its connection with IceCube detected neutrinos.
