About

Priyanka Chakraborty is an astrophysicist whose research centers on large-scale spectroscopic surveys, galaxy evolution, and the interstellar medium. She is best known for her pivotal role in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V), the first all-sky, multiepoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey, which is revolutionizing our understanding of the cosmos through panoptic spectroscopy. Her work on this flagship project, detailed in her highly cited 2025 paper “Sloan Digital Sky Survey. V. Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy” (25 citations), demonstrates her expertise in designing and executing multiobject spectroscopy (MOS) campaigns across both hemispheres, using the 2.5 m Sloan Foundation Telescope and other facilities. Chakraborty’s contributions have enabled unprecedented mapping of stellar and galactic dynamics, chemical compositions, and time-domain phenomena. Her impact is reflected in the growing citation count of her work, which underscores her influence in advancing observational astrophysics. Notably, her leadership in SDSS-V positions her at the forefront of next-generation sky surveys, making her a key figure for students and researchers interested in the future of spectroscopic exploration.
