I am an Astrophysicist working to understand the beahaviour of Black Hole Horizons in dynamical situations, often in binary merger setting, their strong field gravitational effects and how they affect they affect the gravitational radiation we receive in our detectors, by Numerically solving Einstein’s equations of General Relativity using Supercomputers. I also research and develop novel accelerated techniques for gravitational wave inference, using a variety of tools, from singal processing, Bayesian Inference and Stochastic Sampling. I also study the quality and performance of gravitational waveform produced by different models that directly impact our ability to accurately discern the source properties.I enjoy find novel solutions to problems by writing codes are optimized and efficient.
I am an astrophysicist attempting to unravel the mysteries of the universe by listening to the cosmos using gravitational waves. Black holes are one of the most mathematically beautiful, pure and symmetrical objects ever known to mankind. Yet they pose some of the biggest unsolved puzzles. I attempt to study the boundaries of the black holes regions in highly dynamical situations - like those in binary mergers - and learn about their causally hidden properties using gravitational radiation. I am also interested in the physical properties of purtutbed black holes - from Black Hole Spectroscopy, late time tails to spectral instabilities.
The origin and astrophysical distribution of black holes, the methods used to infer the source properties, and the use of computational tools to intelligently and efficiently dismantle the deepest mysteries of the cosmos have captivated me in this journey.
