Rate My Professor Shravan Hanasoge

Shravan Hanasoge serves as Assistant Research Professor at New York University Abu Dhabi, where he is co-Principal Investigator of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science. He maintains an additional affiliation as faculty member and Principal Investigator in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India. His research centers on the seismology of the Sun, stars, and Earth, with particular emphasis on using spatio-temporally resolved observations of solar oscillations to determine the three-dimensional internal structure of fluid circulations, sunspots, and thermal anomalies. He also applies machine learning techniques to the analysis of large volumes of solar and stellar observational data.

Hanasoge earned a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He received a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. from Stanford University, where his doctoral work with the Solar Group developed computational techniques for seismology of the solar interior. Following his doctorate, he held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research and the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University. During this period he served as a visiting scholar at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and as an Associate Fellow of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science. He joined the faculty at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 2013.
