I am a propulsion engineer at SEDS KCT, a student-led organization that designs, tests, and launches rockets and satellites. I apply my knowledge and skills in propulsion systems, aerodynamics, and ignition engineering to create innovative solutions that can reach beyond the Earth's atmosphere and explore the unknown. We have successfully launched several projects, such as Tenacity, a hybrid rocket with a potassium nitrate and sucrose based fuel system that achieved a maximum altitude of 100 m. I am also a passionate astronomy enthusiast and an avid astrophotographer. I have captured stunning images of celestial objects and phenomena, such as nebulae, galaxies, and eclipses, using advanced telescopes and cameras. I have also participated in the International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition (IAAC) 2023, where I received the Bronze Honor and qualified for the final round. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering from Kumaraguru College of Technology, where I have gained a solid foundation in the principles and applications of aerospace engineering. I have also completed several online courses and certifications on topics such as the big bang, dark energy, and observational astronomy. Astronomy, to me, is an invitation to explore our existence and understand our place in the universe. I am excited to connect with the Astronomy community, exchange knowledge, and ignite a sense of wonder about the beauty and mysteries of the cosmos. Let's uncover the marvels of astronomy together.
