Gravitational Lensing
Probing the physical nature of lensing objects and sources through gravitational lensing effects in gravitational waves.
Hello, I'm Sudhagar Suyamprakasam.
I am doing my doctoral thesis at Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (CAMK), Poland, and my doctoral advisor is Prof. Dr. Hab. Michał Bejger.
Professional Experience
Prior to joining CAMK, I worked as a Scientific Software Developer in the Gravitational Wave Research Group at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), India, where I collaborated with Prof. Dr. Sukanta Bose. Before joining IUCAA, I served as a Junior Research Fellow with the Max Planck Partner Groups at IISER Thiruvananthapuram and the Radio Astronomy Centre, NCRA–TIFR, Udhagamandalam. I have been a member of the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration since 2014, with a brief hiatus from 2016 to 2018.
My earlier professional experience includes teaching, consulting, and working as a Physics Subject-Matter Expert specializing in content development, review, and quality analysis. I also completed internships at Aaum Research and Analytics, Chennai; the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru; and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru.
I graduated in Applied Physics from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Tiruchirappalli, following my undergraduate studies in Physics at St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli.
