Prateek Gupta, MSc., Ph.D.
Author & Core member
Prateek Gupta is a theoretical Physicist in Astrophysics and currently he has been working as a Post-doctoral researcher at Thüringer Landessternwarte (TLS) in Tautenburg, Germany since October, 2023. Before this he was a Senior Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) in Bangalore under the CEFIPRA project. He had completed his PhD at Savitribai Phule Pune University with focus on radio structures (radio relics and halos) observed in galaxy clusters in radio frequencies ranging from 150 MHz to 2 GHz using semi-analytical modeling of the Fermi-I and Fermi-II acceleration mechanisms. His work also addressed why not all merging clusters show radio halos. During his PhD, He developed a halo-finder algorithm, MITRO (Paper Link), used to identify galaxy clusters and superclusters in both the simulated as well as the observable universe. He has been conducting research at the intersection of cosmology, astrophysics, (magneto)-hydrodynamics, and computational physics since 2015. “I firmly believe that knowledge should be shared to encourage positive societal development, rather than being kept hidden” – Prateek

Sagar Sethi, MSc., Ph.D.
Author & Core member
Sagar Sethi is a final-year PhD student in Astrophysics at the Astronomical Observatory of Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland. He completed his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. Despite an engineering background, his strong interest in astrophysics led him to switch careers from engineering to physics. He later earned his Master’s degree in Physics (with Astrophysics) from Pune University, India, completing his master’s thesis at IUCAA, Pune, India. . His doctoral research focuses on the evolution of the largest giant radio galaxies (GRGs) in the universe. Sagar has also been active as a science communicator, engaging with diverse organisations from India to Poland. As a core member of the RAD@home citizen-science (https://www.radathomeindia.org/) collaboration since 2015, he continues to contribute actively to collaborative astrophysical discoveries. “The true laboratory is the mind, where, behind illusions, we uncover the laws of truth.-Jagadish Chandra Bose”
