Welcome!
I am a research staff astronomer at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) and a visiting lecturer at the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar. My research interests mainly revolve on multi-wavelength investigations of young massive star clusters in interacting and collisional ring galaxies based on spectroscopic and photometric observations. I am also interested in the lifecycle of radio AGN using wide field radio surveys from MeerKAT, uGMRT and LOFAR.
​​I am the team leader of Kanty Astronomy Research Group (KARG). We are a junior extragalactic astronomy group affiliated with SAAO and the University of Antananarivo.
