About
Manisha Caleb is a leading figure in time-domain radio astronomy, with her research centered on the detection and characterization of fast radio bursts (FRBs), pulsars, magnetars, and rotating radio transients (RRATs). Her major contributions include the development and execution of the SMIRF survey at the UTMOST telescope, a pioneering effort that systematically sweeps the southern Galactic plane for these elusive, millisecond-duration astrophysical phenomena. This work, detailed in her highly cited 2020 paper (9 citations), not only describes the system’s design but also demonstrates its capability for real-time periodicity and single-pulse searches, significantly advancing our ability to capture transient signals. Caleb’s impact is evident in her role as a key driver of the MeerTRAP project at the MeerKAT telescope, where she has helped discover numerous FRBs and pulsars, pushing the boundaries of real-time transient detection. Her achievements have been recognized with prestigious fellowships, and her ongoing efforts continue to shape our understanding of the most extreme environments in the universe, from neutron stars to the mysterious origins of FRBs.
