About
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology (GWAC) at West Virginia University. My research focuses on various aspects of the future gravitational-wave detector LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). On the technical side, I am interested in data processing methods which can effectively solve the so-called global fit problem in LISA. On a more applied level, I study how LISA can help us understand astrophysical populations, such as binary black holes and double white dwarfs. My broader interests include applications of machine learning in astrophysics.
My Blog is a collection of miscellaneous, relatively short calculations that I worked out to better understand certain topics, but which are too simple to include in a formal paper.
In Reproduce-a-Paper I reproduce calculations from papers by other authors that caught my attention. This helps me better understand their results and serves as a small contribution to reproducibility, which is one of the cornerstones of scientific research.
