I am Dr. Sravani Vaddi, an astrophysicist with a deep interest in active galactic nuclei, AGN feedback, galaxy evolution in groups and clusters, and supermassive binary black hole systems. I hold a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester, USA. I was a post-doctoral fellow at the National Center for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), Pune, India, and at Arecibo Observatory, Arecibo, Puerto Rico. I worked extensively with radio telescopes, including the GMRT, VLA, EVN, VLBA, and the Arecibo Observatory. I also use multi-wavelength spectral/imaging data in my research. which spans across a range of topics in AGN viz., AGN feedback, dual AGN and supermassive black hole systems.
I am also associated with RAD@home, citizen-science research platform in astronomy.
​I am currently affiliated with the Birla Archaeological Astronomical and Scientific Research Institute in Hyderabad, and actively exploring collaborative projects that bridge research, education, and public outreach.
