Dr Suchetana Chatterjee
Team Member, NAEC team - India
Presidency University
Suchetana Chatterjee is a faculty member at the department of physics at Presidency University. Her research area lies in the interface of astrophysics and cosmology and combines theoretical, phenomenological, and data-oriented aspects. The core of her research is focused in investigating the connection between supermassive black hole (SMBH) evolution and cosmological structure formation in numerical simulations and testing the predictions against multi-wavelength observations. As an academic, she is very excited about physics teaching, physics education research as well as public outreach of science. She is a recipient of the Indian Association for Physics Teachers (IAPT) Dinabandhu Sahu Memorial award for excellence in undergraduate teaching and mentoring and has served the Indian Physics Association gender working group.

Dr Kuntal Misra
Team Member, NAEC team - India
Aryabhatta Research Institute of observational sciencES (ARIES)
Astronomer at the Aryabhatta Research Institute of observational sciencES (ARIES) located in the picturesque Himalayan range in India. Primary research interest in high energy extragalactic transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts, Supernovae, Electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Waves. I spend a lot of time with my students and mentor them on different aspects of research as well as life. I have a strong inclination towards gender sensitisation in science and I am a part of the Working Group of Gender Equity (under the Astronomical Society of India) and public outreach.
