Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolAman Chokshi is a radio astronomer and software-savvy postdoctoral fellow at the Trottier Space Institute focused on decoding the Epoch of Reionization through precision 21-cm measurements. With eight years of experience building instrumentation, analysis pipelines and statistical tools for low-frequency arrays like the Murchison Widefield Array and preparations for the SKA, he operates at the telescope-theory interface to squeeze maximal sensitivity from complex experiments. His background includes hands-on winterover operations at the South Pole Telescope and designing satellite-based calibration experiments in remote observatories, demonstrating resilience and field-tested engineering skills. Comfortable writing modular Python pipelines and leading collaborative projects, he blends observational rigor with software engineering to accelerate the community toward a first robust detection of cosmic dawn.
