Dinesh Shetty

Dinesh Shetty serves as an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy within the Department of Physical Sciences at Ferris State University's College of Arts, Sciences and Education. His academic appointments and research activities position him at the intersection of observational astronomy and nuclear physics.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Physics, University of Mumbai
• MS in Physics, University of Bombay
• Graduate Training in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, CALTECH, CA, USA
• Graduate Training in Data Analytics, The Ohio State University, OH, USA

Dr. Shetty's research spans astrophysics and nuclear physics with equal rigor. His nuclear physics work investigates the symmetry energy and equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter through heavy-ion collision experiments, while his recent astrophysics research focuses on precision astrometry of binary star systems using speckle interferometry techniques. Key contributions include establishing connections between nuclear matter properties and neutron star behavior, and developing observational methodologies for double star systems.

Publication analysis reveals a strategic evolution from nuclear physics (2005-2017) to astrophysics (2025), with his nuclear work emphasizing density-dependent symmetry energy measurements through fragment yield distributions and isoscaling phenomena, while his current research pioneers astrometric techniques for binary star characterization at Rawlinson Observatory.

No scientific awards are documented in available records.

Dr. Shetty actively contributes to academic infrastructure through the development of Ferris State University's astronomy program, including telescope instrumentation projects at Rawlinson Observatory as presented in his 2025 faculty orientation. His presentation history demonstrates sustained engagement with major professional societies including the American Astronomical Society and American Physical Society across multiple decades.
