About me
Hello, I’m Mayukh (ময়ূখ) — a PhD candidate in Astronomy at Queen’s University. After a bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, I moved to Canada to pursue a lifelong dream: doing astronomy.
I build high‑frequency, balloon‑borne radio instrumentation for VLBI — the technology that links telescopes across the Earth to see the finest details in the Universe. This work lets me combine hands‑on hardware with research, designing new instruments and improving existing ones.
My current focus is advancing balloon‑borne high‑frequency VLBI to sharpen images of black‑hole shadows — and one day, resolve photon rings.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me powerlifting at the gym or playing guitar. I also enjoy making science‑outreach videos on YouTube, sharing my love for astronomy with a wider audience.
