Sanath has bachelors (1994) and masters (1997) degrees in physics from the University of Delhi and over 8 years of experience as an astronomer and a science educator at the Nehru Planetarium New Delhi, India.  He earned a masters degree in Space Studies (2007) at the University of North Dakota, working on model inversion of visible near infra red spectra to deduce the surface mineralogy, albedo, and size of Near Earth Asteroids 2005 AB and 1999 HF1. He is now pursuing a PhD in Geospatial Science and Engineering at SDSU with Prof. David Roy as his research advisor, funded by Prof. Mark Cochrane’s NASA biodiversity grant.  His current research interests include the development of  models to characterize the physical properties of forest and grassland fires.
