Sonali completed B.Sc. (Honours) Physics from Sri Venkateswara College in 2007. She followed it up with M.Sc. Physics from St.Stephens College in 2009. Post that, she gained a B.Ed. from Central Institute of Education in 2010. She cleared CSIR NET JRF in Physics in 2009 and achieved Ph.D. in Physics (Astrophysics) from Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi in 2015. She has 8 years of Postdoctoral Research experience, focused on Astronomical data analysis, from institutes in India and abroad. This includes Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune (from 2015-2018); Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA), Peking University, Beijing (from 2018-2020); and Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bengaluru (from 2020-2023). Since 2024, she has been working as an Assistant Professor in Physics at Jaypee University Anoopshahr.
