About me

[Google Scholar Page]

I am Aryan, a 4th year BS-MS physics major at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Mohali,India
Interested in modelling of astrophysical systems with a focus on fluid dynamics, relativity, N-body systems and radiative transfer.. I have worked in N-body Simulations and Galactic Dynamics.
I am also interested in creative writing including short stories and poems.

    Personal Projects

    This page contains all the projects that I do own my own.

    C-lestial

    A git repository that contains notes, C codes and demonstrations for numerical analysis. The aim is to provide comprehensive notes on the topic. For this, I read from the several textbooks and research articles.

    It also includes a library under the same name. I keep adding to the notes and the library whenever I read something.

    Notes

    This page contains some of my markdown notes or course submissions like term papers.

    IDC621 Modelling Complex Systems

    Term Paper 1 Term Paper 2 Term Paper 3 Term Paper 4

    Special and General Relativity
