👋 Welcome to my page! My name is Ananyo Bhattacharya, and I am pursuing my doctoral studies in planetary science. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My research focuses on exploration of planetary bodies, and their space environments. I am interested in origin and evolution of planetary atmospheres, and understanding planetary bodies as a complex system. I am working with NASA Juno mission to Jupiter, to analyze Microwave Radiometer observations of Jupiter’s deep atmosphere and auroral region.

🪐 My doctoral research focuses on coupling photochemistry of Venus with atmospheric dynamics driven transport processes to understand the spatio-temporal variability of trace species in Venus. The coupling between chemistry and dynamics offers a perspective to interpret the observations of ground based telescopes and spacecrafts in order to develop a better understanding of planetary atmospheres.

🛠️ In addition to my scientific research, I am pursuing my interests in entrepreneurship and technical innovation for social impact. As a Fellow of the Entrepreneur’s Leadership Program at University of Michigan, I had the opportunity to develop my leadership skills, cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, and gain insights into the world of business and innovation. I have been working in association with M-HEAL: The Initiative to develop neonatal incubators to combat infant mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa.
