Shami Chatterjee

Shami Chatterjee is a Research Professor in Cornell University's Department of Astronomy and Principal Research Scientist at CCAPS. His research focuses on fast radio bursts, pulsar timing arrays, black hole imaging, and interstellar medium dynamics. Notable contributions include Event Horizon Telescope studies of M87's black hole and investigations of repeating fast radio bursts with persistent radio sources.

Research utilizes advanced radio astronomy facilities including the Very Large Array, Green Bank Telescope, and ALMA. Current projects involve developing pulsar detection methodologies for Galactic Center studies and advancing gravitational wave detection through pulsar timing techniques.

Teaching includes courses on modeling techniques in astronomy and physics of compact objects. Collaborative work spans international consortia including the Event Horizon Telescope and NANOGrav collaborations.
