Gravitational Waves

The new frontier of astrophysics

Merging compact object binaries generate ripples in the fabric of spacetime, stretching and squeezing it as they move. These ripples, known as gravitational waves, can be detected by ground-based detectors from distances of thousands of megaparsecs. By analyzing these gravitational waves, we gain valuable insights into the fundamental workings of the universe.

Neutron Star Structure

Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. Despite observing hundreds of them, their internal structure remains largely unknown. The physics at these supranuclear densities is an amalgamation quantum and gravitational theories. My research focuses on extracting information about neutron star properties from gravitational wave signals, aiming to enhance our understanding of these fascinating objects
