Astrophysics in a Nutshell: From the eyes of a 17-year-old

Do you like astrophysics or astronomy? Are you a professor with a PhD? Are you a student who simply loves everything about it? Maybe you don't even like or know about it. No matter who you are, this book is for you. From someone who might know everything about the subject to someone who's touching Astrophysics for the first time ever, this book will get you through it. It consists of everything from basic astronomy to theories in physics people wonder about to this day and everything in between. Start small and learn about the four fundamental forces controlling the universe or go big and get to know about dark energy, dark matter and what we know about it. To top things off, it also consists of no math whatsoever! This book was written by a 17-year-old who has a lot of passion for this subject and wants to share this passion with everyone who may be interested.

Devices

Devices is a novel I wrote when I was 16 years old. It is a Science-fiction novel published under Broadway Publishing House.

Research Interests

Gaussian Splatting

Gaussian Splatting is a new but powerful tool of not only high fedelity visualization but also has many potential use cases such as a Controller for an Autonomous Vehicle in a localized map.

FPGA

FPGA research is dedicated to designing and optimizing reconfigurable hardware architectures that enable high-performance, energy-efficient solutions tailored for diverse applications such as artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and real-time data processing

Embedded Systems

Embedded systems research focuses on designing and optimizing specialized computing architectures and software integrations to deliver reliable, real-time performance for diverse applications such as automotive electronics, industrial automation, healthcare devices, and consumer electronics

Projects

F1TenthBU

F1TenthBU ACRO is the club I had the privilege of Founding and being the President of. It is a club that started as a research in Gaussian Splatting and its applications and branched out to Autonomous Racing.

Github

C-MemView

A Memory Viewer designed for C. Similar in behavior as valgrind but its purpose is to help identify and visualize memory in C for debugging as well as management. It has multiple features including a lookup table for addresses. Purpose is to be used for CS350 at BU and beyond.
