Born and brought up in Ahmedabad (India), I graduated from Shree Narayana Guru Vidhyalaya (SNGV) High School in 2004. After two years of studying Physics at M.G. Science Institute in Ahmedabad, I transferred to University of Toronto (UofT) in 2006. I graduated with Hons.BSc. in Physics and Astronomy in 2010. In April 2012, I graduated from University of Western Ontario (UWO) with M.Sc. in Astronomy and a minor in Planetary Science. I am currently a Ph.D. student (Astronomy and minor in Planetary Science) here at Western.

Astronomy has always been my passion since childhood. I use to actively participating in the astronomical activities in Ahmedabad (India).
