About Me

Mrutyunjaya Muduli

I'm Mrutyunjaya Muduli, a Computer Science and Engineering student at Visvesvaraya Technological University with a deep passion for astronomical research and computational astrophysics. Currently serving as a Research Intern at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, where I conduct comprehensive studies of solar radio bursts and their association with solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

My research integrates multiwavelength data from space-based instruments including GOES X-ray observatory and LASCO coronagraphs, contributing to enhanced understanding of solar activity and space weather events. From developing exoplanet detection simulators to modeling neutron stars and analyzing JWST images, I bridge theoretical astronomy with practical computational applications.
