Space Research

The brief but exciting research period during my time in academia after which I pursued science writing full-time.

As a former science officer at TeamIndus, I selected landing sites for their Moon missions, identified science objectives, and converted them to engineering requirements. Here are notable works I was actively involved in while I was there.

  1. Co-developed a framework with veteran scientist Dr. Jim Head and peers for maximizing science in lunar landing missions. Abstract and poster, presented at LPSC 2019. 🌗
  1. Part of the TeamIndus group collaborating with Brown University on a science-optimized rover traverse in a Moon landing mission. Paper published on NewSpace.

I also have some research experience in Astrophysics, specifically in analyzing X-rays from cosmic objects as measured by Astrosat, India’s first space telescope.
