About

I love to communicate the marvels of space science with the general public through outreach and education initiatives (visit Indus Space for more details). I work in a field that combines both space science, geography, and geological analyses.

Before humans travel far distances in our solar system, satellite missions are often current method to determine the geological history of planetary surfaces. Previously, my research topics have focused on characterizing the morphologies of impact craters on several planetary bodies (Earth, Moon, Venus) using data fusion techniques. I was thrilled to be included as a Canadian Space Ambassadors through the Canadian Space Agency when the program was active.

As a woman in the Space/STEM fields, and of South Asian background, I value opportunities to promote the role of all women in STEM and to inspire future generations to join the STEM community. I was formerly the chairperson of Lotus STEMM, and served on Council for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada- Toronto Centre. I continue to support initiatives that empower youth and education through my participation in the Aim for Seva initiatives.
