About me
I am a Research Engineer in the CosmoStat lab working under the supervision of Samuel Farrens. My work involves managing the OU-LE3 data model, helping out with the data product description document, contributing to the development of the SGS weak-lensing mass measurement software for clusters of galaxies (COMB-CL), and contributing to the key project on validating OU-LE3 WL products (DR1-KP-WL-LE3-1).
I have a Bachelor of Science (BS) and a Master of Science (MS) degree in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Tirupati. For my Masters project, I worked with Dr. Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro on exploring the 'Cosmology with Multiple Galaxies', where we trained neural networks to perform likelihood-free inference on the value of cosmological and astrophysical parameters using the properties of several galaxies from thousands of hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project.
Post my Masters, I worked at a tech consultancy company in India as a Developer where I was part of the team responsible for various CI/CD operations.
