Description
In our "Hello, Astrophysicist!" segment, we interact with some of the finest Astrophysicists and talk about lots of exciting and informative stuff. In the first episode, we featured Prof. Debarati Chatterjee, a theoretical Astrophysicist, Associate Professor at IUCAA, and the Chairperson of LIGO-India Outreach. Her research focuses on Compact Objects, specifically Neutron Stars, and she tries to understand the mysterious behavior of these celestial objects that are a source of Gravitational Waves. In this episode, we had a chat about her research, early Life, challenges she had to face as a woman in STEM, and lots of other science stuff. If you missed a chance to participate, don't worry because you can also ask your questions to our future guests featured in this segment by participating in the Q/A session on Instagram (IG| @astrophysicast).
