Hi there, I'm Pranav 👋

I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, where i am helping a next-generation detector to help unravel the mysteries of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs).

My work focuses on radio astronomy instrumentation, digital signal processing, and high-performance scientific computing.

🔭 About Me

🔬 Currently: Building the radio teelscopes at CfA and doing rad sciene.

🛰️ Previously: I was a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University, working on the CHIME (Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment) project.

🎓 Ph.D.: I earned my Ph.D. from West Virginia University, where my dissertation involved building TONE, an interferometric array to localize FRBs to submilliarcsecond precision using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI).

🧑‍🏫 Teaching & Outreach: I'm passionate about education and run the NSF-funded Digital Signal Processing in Radio Astronomy Research Experience for Teachers (DSPIRA) Site, teaching high school teachers practical radio astronomy and instrumentation.

⚡ Interests: Radio Astronomy Instrumentation, Fast Radio Bursts, VLBI, and Cosmology.
