Welcome to my homepage! I am a physicist/astrophysicist at the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS), Bangalore. My research spans different aspects of gravitational-wave astronomy: modeling of gravitational-wave sources by combining analytical and numerical relativity, gravitational-wave data analysis, interpretation of gravitational-wave observations, tests of general relativity using gravitational wave observations, and astrophysics. I have been a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since 2004. Along with my colleagues at the ICTS Astrophysical Relativity Group, I have directly contributed to deciphering the recent LIGO discovery of gravitational waves.
