Niranjan Chandra Roy
Graduate Student
Physics
Niranjan is a third-year grad at UConn Physics, working with Prof. Daniel Anglés-Alcázar on creating mock observations of galaxies from cosmological zoom-in and hyper-refinement FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments) simulations. Such mock observations in both line and continuum emissions are to be used as comparable templates for state-of-the-art telescopes, e.g., James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter Array; and will help to constrain the physics behind galaxy evolution.
He has also worked on the progenitor problem of type IA supernovae by simulating these high-energy astrophysical events in multi-dimensions with GPU-accelerated nuclear networks.
He completed his Masters in Physics from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and his Baccalaureate from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
