About
V. Shenoy is a leading astrophysicist whose work centers on time-domain astronomy and robotic telescope instrumentation. As a key figure behind the GROWTH-India Telescope (GIT)—a 70 cm, wide-field robotic observatory with a 0.7-degree field of view—Shenoy has enabled rapid, automated detection of transient celestial events. Their most-cited paper (2022, 31 citations) details GIT’s deployment as India’s first dedicated robotic eye for time-domain astrophysics, a collaboration between the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and IIT Bombay, supported by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum. This contribution has significantly advanced the country’s capacity to study supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and other fleeting phenomena. Shenoy’s work bridges instrumental innovation and scientific discovery, fostering international partnerships and training a new generation of astronomers. With a growing citation impact, they continue to shape the landscape of real-time astrophysical exploration, making the universe’s most dynamic events accessible from Indian soil.
