Hi, I'm looking for PhD position in observational astronomy. Indian female. My research interests are: cosmology (masters thesis in CMB), star formation and evolution (a long internship in this domain and even presented a poster on it at a national conference; paper under preparation), dark matter, galactic astronomy. I also have interest in computational astronomy and have participated in a workshop on machine learning for science.
Graduating from a reputed Indian Institute.
My GPA is 8.56/10 (equivalent to US 3.7, I think?)
3 internships in astro at reputed research institutes, also done a research project in the field of nano-particles. Involved in co-curricular activities.
Here is my university list:
I love their departments but they're out of reach so not applying
Ohio State
UIUC
Penn state
Ambitious, but professors showed interest in my profile so applying
UC Berkeley
U Maryland
UT Austin
UC Irvine
Hopeful about getting into these
Georgia state
Johns Hopkins
LSU
Rice
Thank you for your time!
PS: I have limited funds for applications so my list is short.
