Hi there! I am Arshi, an avid enthusiast of Astronomy and Astrophysics. I am a 2nd- year PhD student at the Institute of Astrophysics, Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB), Chile, with a master’s degree in Physics from Savitribai Phule Pune University and a bachelor’s degree in Physics from Fergusson College, Pune.

​

My research interests lie in understanding how galaxies form and evolve across cosmic time, particularly during the early stages of the Universe. I am especially interested in how dense environments, star formation, and feedback processes shape galaxy evolution. In my PhD, I explore these questions by studying galaxies within high-redshift (z~4-5) protoclusters, combining multiwavelength observations from facilities such as JWST, ALMA, and MUSE.

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