Astrophysics, machine learning, and imaging — and the path that led here.

My name is Shantanu Parmar, and I am a Visiting Student in the Department of Astrophysics at Cornell University. I am an American Physical Society Matching Membership Fellow, a student member of the American Astronomical Society, and a member of the Inspired24 Space Initiative.
My research interests lie at the intersection of astrophysics, machine learning, and imaging — from measuring orbital decay in white dwarf binaries and classifying transient noise in LIGO data, to building generative models that restore low-signal astronomical images and predicting the performance of electric propulsion thrusters.
In my free time, I enjoy astrophotography, hiking, and building electronics projects. More on that under Contact.
