I am from India and got my bachelor degree in Physics from the University of Delhi. Afterwards, I moved to the University of Edinburgh, where I obtained my Master Degree in Theoretical Physics. The topic of my dissertation was Models of Galaxy formation. I obtained my PhD in Astrophysics from SISSA, Trieste, Italy, with a PhD thesis on 'On the effects of Initial Mass function on galactic chemical enrichment: the role of Pair Instability Supernovae'. My research focussed on how the later evolutionary stages of massive/very massive stars such as Pair Instability Supernovae affect the galactic chemical evolution. In general, my research interests lie at the interface of stellar and galaxy evolution and how from the physical properties we can infer the process of formation , evolution and dust properties of galaxies using large data surveys.
