I am a PhD candidate researching black holes and gravitational waves, with a focus on the quasinormal modes (QNMs) excited during the ringdown phase of a perturbed black hole as it settles into its final Kerr state.
My current work involves the identification of QNMs and nonlinear features in numerical relativity (NR) waveforms obtained via Cauchy-characteristic extraction (CCE), specifically those produced by the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) collaboration. Previously, I investigated the spatial structure of both first- and second-order QNMs, developing a novel numerical technique to analyze their angular properties. More recently, I have been working on a Bayesian framework for detecting QNMs in NR waveforms.
Broadly, I am interested in the intersection of fundamental physics with astrophysical and cosmological observations. I also engage in science communication, regularly writing scripts, producing content, and giving talks on physics topics for non-specialist audiences.
