Research

My research work has focused on building end-to-end, robust pipelines for gravitational-wave data analysis: from waveform modeling and searches in real detector noise to population inference and precision tests of General Relativity. With upcoming observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network (and, in the coming years, with LIGO-India) expected to deliver a rapidly growing volume of data, it is extremely important to develop analysis methods that are both computationally efficient and robust to instrumental and modeling systematics.

My current research interests also include gravitational-wave astrophysics and cosmology, multimessenger astrophysics, gravitational waveform modeling, gravitational lensing of gravitational waves, and tests of gravity using gravitational-wave observations.
