Integrated Masters Student at NISER Working on Exoplanetary Atmospheres and Machine Learning

Glad to be part of this work featuring our new exoplanet atmosphere modeling framework, SANSAR. Check it out below 👇

Our paper on the study of HD 209458 b using our newly developed in-house framework for modelling exoplanet atmospheres, SANSAR, is now published in The Astronomical Journal.🎉 🔗 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384… #exoplanet #astronomy

My first PhD paper is on arxiv today! Rotating planets are slightly wider at their equator compared to the poles. Saturn in our Solar System (below, minus the rings), is about 10% oblate! Can we detect this shape difference in transits from JWST? (1/N) arxiv.org/abs/2410.03449

For those that hope (or worry) that LLMs will do breakthrough scientific research, I've got good (or bad) news: LLMs are particularly, exceedingly, marvellously ill-suited to this task. (if you're a researcher, you'll have noticed this already) Here's why🧵
