About Me

Hi! I’m Chanda, a theoretical (astro)physicist. I hold a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowship in the Observational Cosmology Lab at Goddard Space Flight Center. My main area of research is theoretical cosmology, and I am especially interested in creative approaches to the dark energy and cosmological constant problem(s). If you’re interested in my CV, please use the contact form to get in touch!

I sometimes write for Is Greater Than. I firmly believe that science should be taken out of the military dungeon and brought into communities that value human life above all else.

Here are some interesting links:

• I’m proud of my article Getting Physicists to Invest in Caring, Not Killing.
• The Global Women’s Strike does amazing social justice work.
• The arXiv is very important.
• I wrote a guest entry at Cosmic Variance on diversity in physics.
• Speaking of which, check out the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists websites. Also there is an NSBP Blog, Vector.
• Here is an article about how I pronounce the letter “h.”
