About

Tsewang Dorjai is a pioneering figure in time-domain astrophysics and robotic telescope instrumentation, whose work has significantly advanced India’s capabilities in automated sky surveys. As a key contributor to the GROWTH-India Telescope (GIT)—a 70 cm robotic facility with a 0.7-degree field of view—Dorjai helped establish India’s first dedicated robotic eye for capturing transient cosmic events. This flagship project, supported by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, has garnered 31 citations and positions India at the forefront of rapid-response astrophysics. Dorjai’s expertise extends to low-cost, high-efficiency telescope automation, as demonstrated in their work upgrading the 50 cm telescope at the Indian Astronomical Observatory. By designing a precise telescope control system and observatory software, they enabled accurate pointing and tracking—critical for monitoring variable sources. These contributions not only reduce operational costs but also democratize access to cutting-edge observational tools. Dorjai’s achievements underscore a commitment to building indigenous, scalable infrastructure for time-domain science, inspiring a new generation of astronomers to explore the dynamic universe.
