What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to planetary science research and collaborate on innovative projects in space exploration.

I am currently a third-year BS-MS student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, specializing in Earth Sciences. My academic journey has been marked by a strong foundation in planetary geophysics and surface processes, which I am eager to explore further through research and collaboration in future space exploration missions.

During my summer internship at IISER Kolkata, I worked under the guidance of Prof. Kathakali Bhattacharyya on a project focused on stress regime changes along frontal thrust faults in the Darjeeling Himalaya. This experience allowed me to develop essential skills in structural mapping, data inversion, and geophysical analysis, which I believe are crucial for advancing our understanding of tectonic processes.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have engaged in various extracurricular activities, including Hindustani classical music and fine arts, where I have received accolades for my performances and contributions. I am also actively involved in event management and sports, serving as the Head Organizer for cultural events at IISER Kolkata. My diverse experiences have equipped me with a well-rounded skill set that I am excited to bring to future opportunities in planetary science.
