Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a physics PhD student at Yale. I am originally from India, where I did my undergraduate studies. As a child, I was fascinated by the world of astronomy, and I got started around 8th grade. I have been doing a lot of astronomy since then and have recently started doing astrophotography. I am hoping to impart some of what I learned about astrophotography through this course.
