Design Science, Stellar Astronomy and Planetary Science
INTRO
I am a 3D Artist, Astronomer, and Data Scientist. I have a venture for
designing scientific visualizations and web applications in the field of science.
I am passionate about 3D Art, Design science, Illustrations, Open Source Art
tools, and Astrophotography. As a data scientist, I love working with big
multi-dimensional data and revealing underlying trends and anomalies. In
the past, I worked with MRI data to study the correlation between brain
function and actions in humans. I used terrain data for planetary science
projects on Mars and Moon using algorithms to detect craters and other
surface features. Currently, I am working with Kepler, TESS, and GAIA
space mission data, using methods such as time series analysis, advanced
statistical methods, and machine learning applications. Currently, I am
pursuing my doctoral degree in the field of astronomy while at the same time
working as a data scientist and researcher. My area of research in science is
stellar evolution, variable stars, asteroseismology, space mission data analysis,
and planetary science. I am the founder of Spacentity - a platform where i experiment the design elements for combining the science and art.
"I believe that there is interconnectedness between art and science."
