Aakash’s research interests include:
- Stellar accelerations and measuring the local dark matter density
- Direct detection of dark matter in solid-state systems
- Optical frequency combs and supercontinuum generation
- Doppler exoplanet searches
- Transit spectroscopy
Fun Fact: Aakash’s favorite thing to do on the weekends is to go rock climbing outdoors! This is a picture of him climbing The Great Escape at Shagg Pond, Maine.
A group paper on Astro-comb calibrator and spectrograph characterization using a turn-key laser frequency comb has been published in Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 17033.
A group paper on Astro-comb calibrator using a turn-key laser frequency comb has been posted on the arXiv.
Welcome Aakash Ravi, a new grad student working on the Exoplanet projects!
