My research interests focus on compact objects; the remnants of stars in the form of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Binaries involving one or more compact remnants offer remarkable laboratories for a broad variety of astro-physics. Such binaries are responsible for spectacular explosions and are principal sources of gravitational waves. I am interested in the astrophysics enabled through gravitational waves as well as what can be learned from combined GW & electromagnetic information, aka multi-messenger astronomy.
I am an observationally focused astronomer, exploiting the spectrum of facilities available to us, both from the ground as well as space. I am currently leading a facility that hunts for electromagnetic signatures of binary mergers, called the . Its 32 unit telescopes patrols the sky continuously, picking up many transients and chasing external triggers from GW and high-energy facilities.
If you are interested in a Ph.D position in our group, a description of current projects on offer can be found . You can find out more about our research, with my interests overlapping with the white dwarf, transient and space domain awareness sub-groups.
