Hi!

I am Gaurav Waratkar, a fifth-year PhD student at the Department of Physics, IIT Bombay.

With my supervisor Prof. Varun Bhalerao, I am studying high-energy transients like Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), Fast-radio Bursts (FRBs), and counterparts to gravitational wave sources using AstroSat-CZTI. I am also a part of the team that is building Daksha, world's most sensitive X-ray transient telescope, proposed to ISRO. I am a part of the low-latency infrastrcuture team in the LIGO Science Collaboration.

I was born in the city of Nagpur, located in the central part of India. After spending 18 years of my life there, I moved to Mumbai for my Bachelors' in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Bombay. I then joined Prof. Varun Bhalerao as a Graduate student in 2020 to work on my Ph.D. focussed on Astrophysics and Instrumentation.
