      I studied engineering originally, because I like thinking creatively and solving problems. Then I go into astronomy because I find it fascinating. My job combines both of these things 🙂

      I have always been interested in astronomy, and the idea of being able to study objects that are very far away fascinates me.

      It happened over years. I didn’t always know I wanted to do this. But first I became a doctor coz i was good in biology, then i became a radiologist coz i was good with computers and maths. And now I am doing cancer research because i realised i would be more satisfied
