A dedicated and passionate astronomer with over 10 years of experience in observational astronomy, astrophysics, and space science research. Specializing in the study of stellar evolution, cosmic phenomena, and celestial mechanics, my work has contributed to understanding the unique astronomical conditions of Nepal Kathmandu. As an advocate for science education in South Asia, I have led initiatives to promote astronomy among students and researchers in Nepal. My expertise includes advanced data analysis techniques, telescope operations, and collaborative projects with international observatories. Based in Kathmandu, I aim to leverage the region's clear skies and minimal light pollution to advance astronomical research while fostering local scientific communities.
