Sarbani Basu is an Indian astrophysicist and Professor at Yale University. She is on the board of directors of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Education
Basu earned her Bachelor's degree at the University of Madras in 1986.[1] She completed her graduate studies at the Savitribai Phule Pune University and University of Mumbai, gaining her PhD in 1993.[1]
Research
In 1993 Basu joined Queen Mary University of London as a postdoctoral researcher, before moving to the Aarhus University.[1] She won the 1996 M. K. Vainu Bappu Gold Medal from the Astronomical Society of India.[2] In 1997 she joined Princeton University as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study.[1][3][4] In 2000 she was appointed Assistant Professor at Yale University, and promoted to Professor in 2005.[1] She won the 2002 Hellman Family Faculty Fellowship. She is interested in the structure and dynamics of the sun, and studies them using stellar oscillations.[5][6] By monitoring helioseismic inversions Basu determines what processes take place inside the sun.[7][8] She has written a book chapter about Helioseismology.[9] Basu has published over 200 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and has a H-index of 82.[10]
Basu was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2015.[11] In 2017 she published "Asteroseismic Data Analysis Foundations and Techniques" with William Chaplin.[12] She won the American Astronomical Society's George Ellery Hale Prize in 2018 for her contributions to our understanding of the internal structure of the Sun.[13][14][15] She was presented with the award at the Triennial Earth-Sun Summit in Virginia.[16] She also visits schools to discuss her research with young people.[17][18]
