Galaxies are the building blocks of the universe. They form the beads of cosmic jewelry that define structure on the largest scales. However, the formation and evolution process of these galaxies is one of the open areas in astrophysics with many unsolved questions. We try to answer some of these fundamental questions using observations of nearby galaxies.

Dr. Narendra Nath Patra Principal Investigator Dr. Narendra Nath Patra obtained his Ph.D. from the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, under the guidance of Prof. Jayaram N. Chengalur. He did his first postdoc from NCRA-TIFR itself, where he worked on the proposed expansion of the Giant Meter-wave Radio Telescope (E-GMRT) and designed its antenna configuration. He then moved to the Raman Research Institute as a Pancharatnam Fellow in 2018. He joined the Department of Astronomy Astrophysics and Space Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology in 2021 and established a Galaxy Research Group to investigate the process of galaxy formation and evolution. He also established the Digital Backend Lab at DAASE, which focuses on building digital receivers for radio telescopes. He is actively working on commissioning the four-element interferometer (IIRI) at IIT Indore. |
