Decoding the ionosphere from orbit — bridging satellite data, machine learning, and space weather science to navigate the unexplored frontiers between Earth and space.
I am a Space Scientist specializing in ionospheric physics, satellite navigation, space weather, and machine learning applications for geospace research. Currently, I serve as a DST INSPIRE Faculty Fellow at the North Eastern Space Applications Centre (NESAC), where I investigate solar-terrestrial interactions and their impact on the atmospheric-ionospheric dynamics of the Indian subcontinent.
I received my Ph.D. in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering from IIT Indore, where my research focused on the low-latitude ionosphere using India's NavIC constellation and GNSS observations. My work has contributed to advancing our understanding of ionospheric variability, space weather effects, and satellite navigation performance.
Previously, I worked as a Research Scientist at Université Gustave Eiffel, Nantes, France, on an ESA project contributing to developing resilient GNSS positioning solutions for pedestrian navigation.
My research interests include ionospheric dynamics, GNSS signal analysis, and space weather impacts on navigation systems.
I am passionate about scientific collaboration, mentoring young researchers, and developing innovative solutions that enhance the reliability of space-based technologies
I am always open to research collaborations, academic discussions, and opportunities in space science, GNSS, and machine learning. Whether you are a fellow researcher, institution, or industry partner — feel free to reach out.
