Kritti Sharma
PhD Candidate, Astrophysics @ Caltech
I use enigmatic bursts of radio light, known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), to reveal the hidden gas in the Universe, connecting the physics of gas around galaxies to galaxy formation models, growth of cosmic structure and fundamental parameters of the standard cosmological model.
Research
FRBs, a new probe of gas and baryonic feedback!
Publications
11 first-author, peer-reviewed papers, including publications in Nature and Nature Astronomy.
Press
Coverage of FRB progenitors, missing baryons, and near-Earth asteroid discovery.
Outreach
Teaching, mentoring, and public astronomy from IIT Bombay to Caltech.
CV
Full academic record.
