- Post-doctoral fellow at University de Montpellier-II
- Post-doctoral fellow at The Observatory di Trieste, Italy
Testimonials : I obtained my Ph.D. in April 2000 under the guidance of Professor Parthasathy. From there, I took up post-doctoral fellowships at the University de Montpellier-II (2001-2002) and at Observatory di Trieste, Italy (2002-2003), where I was part of the VLT Large program "First Stars." After taking a short break of a few months to care for my newborn twins, I resumed my research with a visiting associate position at the IUCAA, Pune, for nine months during 2003-2004. Later, I joined Michigan University as a Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) postdoc during 2004-2008. I was at the University of Florida as SDSS-MARVELS postdoc for a year before I joined the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) as a reader in 2009. My research interests include Galactic archaeology, instrumentation, and exoplanet studies. For further inquiries, please contact me at sivarani@iiap.res.in.
