Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAritra Ghosh is a postdoctoral astrophysicist and LSST Catalyst Prize Fellow at the University of Washington, with a decade of experience applying machine learning to large astronomical surveys to study galaxy formation, AGN, and cosmology. Trained at Yale (PhD) and Groningen (MSc), he blends observational data analysis, ML techniques, and high-energy astrophysics insights to probe black hole–galaxy coevolution and time-variable phenomena like blazars. His background spans hands-on experimental labs, gamma-ray pipeline development, and feasibility studies for major experiments (Belle II), reflecting a rare mix of theoretical, computational, and experimental fluency. An active science-outreach advocate and student leader since undergraduate days, he brings strong communication and community-building skills to collaborative, interdisciplinary research.
