Radio Continuum Aperture Photometry of Galaxies (IPM, Effelsberg Telescope Data)

At the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), I analyzed radio continuum maps from the KINGFISHER sample observed with the Effelsberg Telescope. Using the Astronomical Image Processing System (AIPS), I performed aperture photometry of nearby galaxies to measure their integrated flux densities and created polarized intensity (PI) maps from the Stokes Q and U maps. This work provided insights into the radio emission of star-forming galaxies and enhanced my experience in radio astronomy data reduction and scientific interpretation.

Hyperspectral Camera Imaging (Leiden University, Jul 2024 – Aug 2024)

During a short research placement at the Leiden Quantum Matter & Optics Department, I worked with a state-of-the-art hyperspectral camera to investigate material properties. I became proficient in processing and analyzing hyperspectral images, learning how to extract and interpret spectral signatures for detailed material characterization. This project strengthened both my technical skills in advanced optical instrumentation and my ability to handle and analyze high-dimensional datasets.

Gravitational-Wave Data Analysis with PyCBC

I worked with the PyCBC Python library, a key toolkit used by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations to detect and analyze gravitational waves. Using real and simulated data, I explored techniques for identifying astrophysical sources from compact binary mergers and extracting their physical parameters. This project deepened my understanding of gravitational-wave astronomy and provided hands-on experience with professional analysis pipelines used in current gravitational-wave research.
