Keshav Aggarwal

About

Hi! My name is Keshav. I am a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Abhirup Datta at the Department of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering (DAASE), Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore). I have been awarded the prestigious Prime Ministers Reseach Fellowship (PMRF) in October 2023 for pursuing my doctoral studies.

While my present work involves studiying the Sun using radio occultation data from the Indian Mars Orbiter Mission, I am interested in planetary and exoplanetary sciences as well.
