About
Judhajeet Basu is a rising force in time-domain astrophysics, specializing in the design and deployment of robotic telescopes for transient detection. His most impactful work centers on the GROWTH-India Telescope (GIT), a 70 cm robotic facility with a 0.7-degree field of view, which he helped establish as India’s first dedicated robotic eye for time-domain studies. This instrument, a collaboration between the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and IIT Bombay with support from the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, has already garnered 31 citations since its 2022 debut. Basu’s contributions extend beyond hardware: he has been instrumental in developing automated pipelines for real-time data processing and follow-up observations of gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and gravitational wave counterparts. His work bridges cutting-edge instrumentation with community-driven science, enabling rapid response to transient events. As a key member of the GROWTH collaboration, Basu is shaping India’s role in the global time-domain astronomy landscape, making him a researcher to watch for students interested in building the next generation of robotic observatories.
