Simranpreet graduated with honours in Physics from Guru Nanak Dev University, India in 2020. During her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, she was a part of different research groups in India, specifically in the areas of quantum physics and atomic physics. In her master’s thesis, she studied the influence of black body friction forces on Rb and Cs atoms which have a wide range of applications in high precision measurements.

Although her prior research experience is concentrated in atomic and quantum physics, her interest primarily lies in untangling the mysteries of the universe, especially those concerned with radio astronomy and exoplanets. Following this, her doctoral work focuses on the quest for radio emission from magnetised exoplanets and heavier sub-stellar objects, with the aid of various radio facilities functioning across the globe, especially GMRT. She has been leading several observational proposals and takes care of the data analysis.

Apart from being involved in research activities, Simranpreet also takes interest in science communication. Since 2016, she has been working as an editor and content creator for an online astronomy platform named “The Secrets of the Universe”, having more than 1.5 million global followers across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube at present.
