About Me
Heyy! My name is Neev Shah (he/him) and I am currently in the first year of my Astronomy and Astrophysics PhD at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory. Prior to that, I spent 5 amazing and enriching years completing my BS and MS degrees at IISER Pune in India. I am originally from the coastal (and annoyingly humid!) city of Mumbai, but got the opportunity to spend quite some time in various other places over the course of my bachelors (Pune, Vancouver) and masters (Bengaluru). I am now super excited to call Tucson my home for the next 5 or so years. At Steward, I will be working with Dr. Mathieu Renzo on various aspects of massive and binary star evolution, and progenitors of gravitational wave sources such as binary black hole or neutron star mergers that are now regularly being detected by the ground based GW observatories.
Education: BS-MS, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, India
