Welcome!

I am Aswin Vijayan, an Astronomy Research Fellow at the Unviersity of Sussex, UK. I was previosuly a Dawn Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cosmic Dawn Center at DTU, Denmark. I am interested in studying the formation and evolution of galaxies in the first billion years of the Universe. I am particularly interested in the impact of dust in these early epochs and how to model these as well as the SEDs of galaxies in cosmological simulations

I am originally from Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, a state in the southern part of India. I have a bachelors in Engineering Physics and switched careers to Astronomy and I can say that I am greatly enjoying it!
