Krishna Gupta: Exploring the Universe Through Curiosity and Courage

For Krishna Gupta, learning has never been confined to the walls of a classroom. From asking simple questions about the universe to discovering an exoplanet with NASA’s TESS project, Krishna has proven that passion, self-motivation, and perseverance can take a child far beyond expectations. Her journey is an inspiring example of how curiosity, when nurtured, transforms into brilliance.

Krishna’s love for science began with wonder—about space, physics, and the mysteries of the cosmos. With no formal science background around her, she turned to books, online resources, and university-level courses, teaching herself advanced concepts of quantum mechanics, relativity, and astrophysics. This self-driven path led to remarkable milestones, including contributing to the discovery of a confirmed exoplanet and receiving global recognition as a NASA Citizen Scientist.

Her journey did not stop there. Krishna’s research on spirographic fractals in planetary orbits and her exploration of quantum algorithms showcase her ability to merge mathematics with physics in innovative ways. Presenting her work at international conferences and earning praise from leading academicians highlight her dedication not only to learning but to contributing meaningfully to the scientific community.

Alongside research, Krishna channels her creativity into innovation—designing assistive technology, agricultural robots, wellness applications, and more. Each project reflects her belief that science should serve humanity, blending imagination with impact. She also finds expression in writing, poetry, and chess, showing that her brilliance extends beyond labs and classrooms.

Looking ahead, Krishna dreams of becoming a theoretical physicist, working on unifying the mysteries of the universe while also using science and technology to solve real-world problems.

At GCPA, we proudly celebrate Krishna Gupta—a young visionary whose passion for discovery reminds us that the universe opens its doors to those who dare to ask questions and never stop seeking answers.
