Hi, I am Aarav Shah, a Junior (3rd Year) dual-degree student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani pursuing M.Sc. Physics and B.E. Mathematics & Computing (2023–2028).
Based in Mumbai and Pilani, I work across computational physics, large-scale climate data modeling, renewable energy analytics, and local-first developer productivity software. Recent research includes ocean-current modeling with ~250 GB NetCDF satellite datasets at NCPOR, solar farm siting analysis (518K observations), rural socio-economic energy policy modeling, and widely used terminal packages including CPKB and Knowledge Grapher.
Academic Focus
My primary through-line is leveraging computational physics, statistical learning, and graph systems to model complex physical phenomena and streamline developer cognition.
Building rigorous numerical simulation workflows and data analysis pipelines using Python, Jupyter, NetCDF, Gnuplot, and terminal-native tools for oceanographic and quantum mechanics exploration.
Studying Bay of Bengal wind and sea-level variability at NCPOR, solar farm siting with multi-resolution timeseries (1m–60m) at AVAADA Energy, and rural clean energy adoption dynamics.
Architecting privacy-first CLI/TUI tools with SQLite, fuzzy search, Markdown concept graph parsers, PageRank-weighted SM-2 spaced repetition, and cross-platform packaging (PyPI, Homebrew).
