Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSoumyadeep Das is a PhD student at the University of Hertfordshire with 11 years of experience in radio astronomy, specializing in multiwavelength studies of radio galaxies and AGN and hands-on calibration and imaging of interferometric data. He combines strong technical skills in Python, CASA, AIPS and simulation codes with a background in instrumentation-level problems like polarization leakage and gain errors impacting EoR 21 cm studies. His work spans archival VLA/VLBA/GMRT data reduction, hydrodynamic simulations, and practical software/UX development for Android and web apps, reflecting a rare mix of observational astrophysics and product-minded engineering. He has led student initiatives—cofounded an astronomy magazine, organized telescope fabrication events, and coordinated large college tech festivals—demonstrating leadership in outreach and education. Off-duty he writes deliberately bad haikus, designs digital experiences, and brings a playful, creative bent to otherwise rigorous research.
