Sandhya was born and raised in India. She came to the United States to pursue a degree in Astrophysics. She received her PhD in 1994 from the University of Pittsburgh and is now a postdoctoral research associate. Her research involves using the Hubble Space Telescope to study the evolution of galaxies. Her fascination for "let's see what's out there" also makes her an natural science fiction fan. She tries to catch up on missed episodes of Star Trek and Asimov novels while running after her one year old daughter.
