I being a Mechanical engineering student have participated in many technical competitions like formula one student prototype and robotics competition during my bachelors. Apart from that my favourite subject is Physics and love astronomy and astrophysics. I started an astronomy club in my college named Audayak meaning school of astronomers. In my second year of engineering I was amongst 30 students selected for Radio Astronomy winter school 2018 at IUCAA-NCRA. I got to learn radio astronomy through various lectures experiments and a visit to GMRT. The experiments involved superheterodyne horn antenna use of 4-meter telescope at NCRA. I am an active member of JVP (Jyotirvidya Parisanstha) in Pune and did the project with them at Kesriwada Observatory. The project involved Photometry to study Variable stars. I studied RR Lyrae stars and found the period of a cycle of the variation in their intensities. I also attend their Star gazing programs. I was selected for CUREA 2019 program from India at Mount Wilson Observatory at Los Angeles California USA. There I was taught spectrometry. We used 16 60 and 100 inches telescopes for our observation and performed spectroscopy on various nebulae Saturn and its rings etc. My individual project was a solar project on Solar pressure broadening and limb darkening. I took my observations using Snow Solar Telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory Second oldest solar telescope in the world. I operated the telescope myself which involved efforts as it was operated manually using old mechanical mechanisms took a drift scan of sun used spectroscope to find my required Fraunhofer line extracted required data from raw images did processing using darks and flats calibrated them plotted values in excel using equations and functions and got the expected results. I visited CHARA Ray Observatory Griffith Observatory and Caltech LIGO facility. My project guides and instructors where Dr. Paula Turner, John Varsik (Big Bear Telescope), Mike Simons (solar astrophysicist) and John Hoot who works in collaboration with JPL. I was selected for Poster Presentation on Advance Technology used in LIGO at IIA Bangalore for META 2019 conference. Last day of the conference was a tour to Vainu Bappu Observatory in Tamil Nadu. I was also selected for Case Study on Mangalyaan Mission at IIT Kharagpur for National Student Space Challenge 2017. I have my own 4 inches Newtonian Reflector Telescope which I use to find Messier Objects. As an active part of my astronomy club I have arranged many guest lectures in my college including Anima Sabale (scientist on Kepler Mission at NASA and an Astronaut candidate) Sweety Pate (Aerospace engineer at ESA) Dr. Suresh Naik (ISRO) etc. Currently I work as a project student at IUCAA in LIGO-India team as a Mechanical engineer. My project guide is Dr. Suresh Doravari. My project is designing and manufacturing prototypes of vertical and horizontal Seismic isolation and dampening system. I have been working on it for 6 months now which includes design and fabrication of HAM AUX system. Also I’m working with my college astronomy team to make a Go-To equatorial mount for our 6 inches telescope. Also I have visited Lonar crater in Maharashtra state that was created by an asteroid and have studied geology and biology in the crater water to find remnants of the asteroid. I have heard from many people about interesting projects and work in your program. I am really interested for this program and want to be a part of it. If selected I will give my best for the allotted project. It will be a great platform for me to showcase my engineering skills and learn new things in Astronomy and Astrophysics domain. It will be a chance for me to meet people from all places who have expertise in these fields and work with students who have diverse field of studies. If I get this chance I will also like to share this knowledge and small experiments in my astronomy club and popularize this program as much as I can as I feel that STEM branches has to be popularized in our country and in human society as a whole. I really look forward for this program.
