Arshi Ali

Hi there! I am Arshi Ali, an avid enthusiast of astronomy and astrophysics. I hold a Master’s degree in Physics from Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) and a Bachelor’s in Physics from Fergusson College (FC), Pune.

​

Currently, I am in my "exploration era", trying to understand the various aspects of extragalactic phenomena. But I am especially fascinated by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), their intricate dynamics, and the ways these cosmic powerhouses influence and shape their host galaxies.

​​
At present, I am working on a research project as a lead investigator, under the supervision of Dr. Biny Sebastian. We are studying jet-mode feedback in a unique galaxy called NGC 5972, also known as a "Voorwerp" galaxy, analyzing data from VLT/MUSE, GMRT and VLA. In addition to this, I have worked on other projects, including my Master's thesis on gravitational lensing under Dr. Anupreeta More at IUCAA, Pune, where we used study the uncertainty in fermat potential between lens pairs. I have also worked on a mini-project at Naxxtra Science, exploring indirect dark matter detection techniques.

Beyond academia, I enjoy sketching, playing the keyboard, baking, and playing badminton. Feel free to explore my work, ask any questions, or get in touch if you’d like to collaborate!
