I am Yogesh Chandra Joshi, scientist at Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital, India. I have been working at ARIES since 1997, first as a Research Scholar, then as a Research Associate and now as a Scientist. I completed my PhD in the field of gravitational microlensing while I carried out research on Galactic archaeology and extrasolar planets as a PDF. I have been a permanent faculty at ARIES, Nainital since 2009 and currently hold a position of Scientist 'F' (Professor).

I have authored 72 peer-reviewed papers, including 26 as the lead author, accumulating over 4000 citations and achieving a Google Scholar H-Index of 34. Additionally, I have presented 26 short papers at national and international conferences. Notable milestones in my scientific career include the groundbreaking "Detection of the first Microlensing event from India," lead in the discovery paper on "Exoplanet WASP-14b," and research on the "Determination of the Sun's displacement from the Galactic Plane."

I specialize in optical astronomy, with a keen focus on time domain analysis, specifically examining star clusters, extrasolar planets, and variable stars. Additionally, I am deeply intrigued by the realms of galactic archaeology and the mechanisms behind star formation within the Local Group of galaxies.
