Venkatessh Ramakrishnan is a postdoc working alongside Prof Neil Nagar. He joined the Astronomy department by September 2016. He studies the supermassive black holes in the nearby Universe and also the one lurking in the centre of the Milky Way (Sgr A*). One of his primary tools for research is the event horizon telescope. He also works on the connection of the jet outflows and the feedback processes in active galaxies, primarily using ALMA.

Research Expertise & Interests:
1. Physics of accreting systems powered by black holes that also dissipates jets
2. Connected and Long Baseline Interferometry
3. Total Intensity & Polarisation observations
4. Statistical tools using (non-) Bayesian methods
5. Image & Signal Processing under sparse reconstruction framework
