Dr. SubbaRao is interested in cosmology, particularly the large-scale structure of galaxies, their clustering properties and evolution. He is member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey working as a developer of their spectroscopic software which automatically measures redshifts, hence 3D positions, for nearly 1 million galaxies and quasars.

Dr. SubbaRao is also interested in scientific visualization and 3D computer graphics, and using these as tools to make this immense cosmic map accessible to the public.
