๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey there! I'm Akhil :)

I'm an astrophysicist and data scientist โ€” basically, I spend a lot of time wrangling galaxies and gigabytes. I recently wrapped up my PhD at Christ University, where I studied how galaxies form and evolve using data from telescopes like UVIT, JWST, HST, CFHT, and DECaLS, and simulations from the likes of TNG50.

I love building data pipelines, visualizing cosmic structures, and throwing machine learning at high-dimensional problems (sometimes it even works ๐Ÿ˜„). I'm most comfortable in Python, but Iโ€™ve also dabbled in C/C++, R, and a bit of Bash scripting.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I Do

  • ๐Ÿ”ญ Analyze multi-wavelength telescope data (UV to IR)
  • ๐Ÿค– Apply ML for galaxy classification & modeling
  • ๐Ÿงช Build reproducible analysis pipelines for large datasets
  • ๐Ÿง  Explore simulations to understand galaxies
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Visualize complex data in clean, intuitive plots

๐Ÿ’ป Tech I Like Using

Python | Astropy | APLpy | Scikit-learn | Matplotlib | CIGALE | Pandas | DS9 | Git | Jupyter | Ubuntu


๐ŸŒŒ Fun Stuff

  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Iโ€™ve published in journals like ApJ, MNRAS, and A&A
  • ๐ŸŒ Presented my work in Japan and Australia
  • ๐ŸŽฎ When Iโ€™m not coding or stargazing, youโ€™ll find me gaming, movie-watching, or geeking out over new tech

๐Ÿ“ซ Letโ€™s connect


If you're into galaxies, data, and writing clean code โ€” we should definitely chat ๐Ÿš€
