Early Academic Pursuits
She, born on December 27, 1995, exhibited a passion for mathematics and science from a young age. Her early education at Little Angels Sr. Secondary School in Sonipat, India, laid the foundation for her future academic achievements. Excelling in her studies, she scored an impressive 94.4% in her Senior School Examination (12th grade) and 93.1% in her Secondary School Examination (10th grade), both under the Central Board of Secondary Education, India.
She pursued her Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mathematics at the University of Delhi, where she graduated with First Class honors and was the top ranker in her college. She continued her academic journey with a Master of Science in Mathematics from the University of Delhi, achieving a First Division.
Professional Endeavors
Her professional career began as an Assistant Professor at Hindu College of Engineering, Haryana, India, in 2019. Following this, she joined the Department of Mathematics at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, as a Graduate Teaching Assistant while working on her Ph.D. Her doctoral research focused on "Late Time Acceleration with Observational Constraints in Modified Theories of Gravity," under the supervision of Prof. Pradyumn Kumar Sahoo. In March 2024, she took on the role of Assistant Professor at Chandigarh University, Punjab, India.
Contributions and Research Focus in Cosmology
Her research areas are diverse and interdisciplinary, encompassing Cosmology, Mathematical Modelling, Applied Mathematics, General Relativity, Dark Energy, and Modified Theories of Gravity. Her Ph.D. thesis explored late-time acceleration in the Universe, considering observational constraints within the framework of modified theories of gravity. This work is crucial for understanding the accelerated expansion of the Universe, a phenomenon first evidenced by the Big Bang Theory and later supported by observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background.
She has contributed significantly to our understanding of the Universe through her publications in reputable journals. Her notable works include studies on the impact of f(Q) gravity on the Large Scale Structure of the Universe, the effective equation of state in modified gravity, and observational constraints in f(Q, T) gravity models. These studies have implications for understanding Dark Matter and the Cosmic Microwave Background, key components in the study of cosmology.
Accolades and Recognition
Her dedication to her field has earned her several accolades. Her research has been published in high-impact journals such as the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Classical and Quantum Gravity, Physics of the Dark Universe, and The European Physical Journal C. These publications are a testament to her contributions to the field of cosmology and her role in advancing our understanding of the Universe.
Impact and Influence
Her work on modified theories of gravity and their implications for the large-scale structure of the Universe has garnered significant attention in the scientific community. Her research on the effective equation of state in these theories provides valuable insights into the behavior of Dark Matter and Dark Energy, fundamental elements in the study of cosmology. By addressing observational constraints, her work helps bridge the gap between theoretical models and empirical data, enhancing our comprehension of the Universe's accelerated expansion.
