A brief description of my career
Education
- Ph.D. in Astronomy, Universiteit van Amsterdam (Advisors: S. Markoff, A. Tchekhovskoy) (2016 – 2020) on the physics of black hole accretion and jets
- Integrated B.Sc. & M.Sc. in Physics, with honors, IIT Kharagpur (Advisor: Sayan Kar) (2011 – 2016) on calculating non-spherically symmetric space-times in gravity coupled to a scalar field
Selected Honors and Awards
- Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, as a member among 347 researchers of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (2020)
- J. C. Ghosh Memorial Endowment Prize, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (2015)
Unpublished work:
- Matthew Liska, Koushik Chatterjee, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Doosoo Yoon, David van Eijnatten, Casper Hesp, Sera Markoff, Adam Ingram, Michiel van der Klis,
