ICTS

My research focus is gravitational waves from compact binary systems. The main topics of my interest include tests of the black hole nature of compact objects through gravitational-wave observations, tests of the general theory of relativity using gravitational-wave observations, inferring the intrinsic parameters of black hole binaries from gravitational-wave measurements, and understanding the internal structure of non-black hole compact objects from gravitational-wave observations. I am also interested in studying the accuracy requirements of gravitational waveform models in future detections.

Before joining ICTS, I was a post-doc/junior scientist at the Binary Merger Observations and Numerical Relativity group at AEI Hannover https://www.aei.mpg.de/BinaryObservationsNR. I did my Ph.D. at the Chennai Mathematical Institute, Chennai, India from 2014-2019 under the guidance of Prof. K. G. Arun. My Ph.D. thesis title is Testing the binary black hole nature of compact binary mergers using gravitational-wave observations.
