Research

My research interests span a variety of topics in gravitational-wave astronomy. A significant part of my past research has focused on developing end-to-end, robust pipelines for gravitational-wave data analysis, ranging 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, 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 include the following broad topics:
