Biography

I am Prithish Halder, an Adjunct Faculty at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I have a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Assam University, India, where I studied the physical properties of cosmic dust from light scattering. I have also worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and the Physical Research Laboratory. I have developed and applied models of heterogeneous dust particles to cometary polarization and scattering.
