Barnali Das recently joined CSIRO Space & Astronomy, Kensington as a
Bolton Research Scientist. She earned her PhD from the National Centre
for Radio Astrophysics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, India
in November 2021. During her PhD, she worked with Prof. Poonam Chandra
on understanding coherent radio emission produced by magnetic massive
stars. Following her PhD, she joined the University of Delaware as a
postdoctoral researcher where she continued working on
characterization of coherent radio emission, and also collaborated
with Prof. Veronique Petit to investigate the role of binarity in the
magnetospheric emission of hot stars. At CSIRO, she will use data from
several instruments including the ASKAP and the ATCA to address some
of the key questions regarding hot stars, such as the relation between
coherent and incoherent radio emission, extracting signatures of
centrifugal breakout from radio pulses, and also investigating the
recent idea of a global model of magnetospheric operation irrespective
of spectral types.
