Praveen Sharma

Praveen Sharma, Ph.D., is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. His research focuses on high-energy astrophysics, particularly the dynamics and emission properties of compact objects such as neutron stars and magnetars. He uses analytical modeling, large-scale magnetohydrodynamic simulations, and machine learning to study Neutron Stars' magnetospheres, magnetized accretion flows, compact objects mergers, and quasi-periodic oscillations. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Purdue University and his B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. Dr. Sharma teaches courses ranging from introductory physics to advanced celestial mechanics and is passionate about involving students in research that bridges theory and numerical computation.
