About
Shubham Srivastav is a rising star in time-domain astrophysics, specializing in the discovery and characterization of transient cosmic events. His primary research focuses on robotic telescope operations, supernova photometry and spectroscopy, and the rapid follow-up of astrophysical transients. As a key contributor to the GROWTH-India Telescope (GIT)—India’s first robotic eye for time-domain studies—Srivastav helped establish a 70 cm wide-field facility that enables real-time monitoring of explosive phenomena. His work on GIT, supported by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, has already garnered 31 citations and positions India at the forefront of transient astronomy. Srivastav’s detailed analysis of the Type Ib supernova MASTER OT J120451.50+265946.6 in NGC 4080, spanning 250 days of BVRI observations, provided critical insights into the progenitor systems and explosion dynamics of stripped-envelope supernovae. With a growing citation impact and a role in pioneering robotic astronomy in India, Srivastav is shaping the next generation of rapid-response astrophysical research.
