Research
My research explores several areas in gravitational physics. My current interests lie in gravitational wave astronomy. Below is a list of my research activities.
Defining eccentricity for GW astronomy
Defines a standard framework for measuring eccentricity in gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, along with methods to calculate eccentricity directly from gravitational waveforms.

Test of General Relativity using GWs
The Inspiral-Merger-Ringdown Consistency Test (IMRCT) is a key tool for testing the validity of General Relativity (GR) using gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by compact binary systems. We extend this test to GW signals from eccentric binaries.

Gravitational Lensing of GWs
We build fast and accurate surrogate model of microlensed gravitational wave, and probe nature of the lens using gravitational wave observations.
