With research experience spanning multiple domains of astrophysics during my undergraduate and master’s studies, I am currently transitioning my research focus toward Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) instrumentation. In the past one year, my work has centered on developing novel analysis framework using Finite-difference time domain simulations for studying the optical systematics in CMB Telescopes. Building on this computational background, I aim to expand these efforts to include hardware development and experimental implementation in the coming years of my PhD.
