I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology (GWAC) at West Virginia University. My research focuses on two areas: the future gravitational-wave detector LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) and black-hole imaging. For LISA, on the technical side, I am interested in data processing methods which can effectively solve the so-called global fit problem. On a more applied level, I study how LISA can help us understand astrophysical populations, such as binary black holes and double white dwarfs. In black-hole imaging, I work on recovering images of black-hole shadows and the parameters of black holes from sparse interferometric data. My broader interests include applications of machine learning in astrophysics.

In My Latest Papers I summarize my most recent research articles, together with interactive companions where available.

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.
