I am a Research Associate at Keele University. I am a member of the SWIPE project, working on pulsating binary stars. I extract pulsations and stellar parameters from eclipsing binaries, which are precise enough to test models of stellar evolution and pulsations. I work on both photmetric, and spectroscopic observations.

I grew up in Odisha where I graduated in Physics from the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. During my masters, I worked on UV photometric studies of stars in globular clusters.

I did my PhD at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences. I worked on physics of triple stars using eclipsing binaries for my PhD dissertation. During this time I also developed the photometric pipeline for the Solaris network of robotic telescopes.

I am a trained painter and a autodidactic graphic designer. In my free time, I try working on projects varying across different media and styles.
