معرفی
Dr. Apurba Bera is a Researcher affiliated with Curtin University's Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA) under the School of Elec Eng, Comp and Math Sci (EECMS). His primary roles include co-supervising PhD students and conducting cutting-edge research in radio astronomy. His work focuses on fast radio bursts (FRBs), neutron star phenomena, and galaxy evolution, leveraging advanced radio telescopes like ASKAP and GMRT.
Research Interests: Dr. Bera's investigations explore FRB origins and properties, including polarization analysis, host galaxy environments, and correlations with neutron stars. He also studies HI gas in galaxies to understand star formation and cosmic evolution. His work bridges observational data with theoretical models, contributing to cosmological studies like Hubble constant estimation through FRBs.
Publications span 2016–2025, emphasizing FRB detection methodologies (e.g., the CRAFT survey), HI distribution in high-redshift galaxies, and Crab pulsar giant pulses. His recent focus includes quasi-periodic FRBs (e.g., FRB 20230708A) and X-ray/radio transient connections.
Advising & Grants: As a PhD co-supervisor, he collaborates on projects involving radio transient pipelines (e.g., CELEBI) and instrument development for the Square Kilometre Array. His research has been featured in top journals like Nature and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Labs/Teams: Active in CIRA and CRAFT collaborations, contributing to multi-institutional efforts in radio astronomy and FRB science.
