Astrophysics Enthusiast

I am a passionate astrophysics enthusiast, dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the universe through research and innovation. I am particularly interested in areas like Machine Learning Applications in Astrophysics, Computational Astrophysics, Dark Matter and Galaxy Formation and Evolution.

My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in physics and mathematics, alongside experience in numerical simulations and data analysis. I am fascinated by the advancements we have made in artificial intelligence and I wish to apply machine learning to explore the field of astrophysics.
