I am a Vera Florence Cooper Rubin Post Doctoral Research Fellow at Perimeter Institute. I have completed my PhD at Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge and my bachelors and masters degrees in Mathematics at University College London. My current work broadly concerns numerical relativity and tests of general relativity using gravitational waves. I am part of an amazing numerical relativity code collaboration GRChombo (also known as the GRTLCollaboration). GRChombo is a finite difference code and is built on the Chombo adaptive mesh refinement libraries. In recent years, our collaboration gained a lot of new members and made lots of progress towards making the code open source, see our repository for the latest updates. I am also a member of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, which made the first observation of the gravitational wave event GW150914 from a binary black hole merger.

My work concerns simualtions of binary systems mainly consisting of black holes and boson stars. Understading the dynamics of compact objects in modified theories of gravity and the effects of "exotic matter" have been the primary foci of my studies. Although my work is driven by the numerics, I am interested in exploring the observational implications of modified theories of gravity or exotic compact objects. I therefore strive to create a synergy between numerical relativity simulations and data analysis (like Bayesian inference) and understand whether a specific theory in question can be probed with current or future gravitational wave detectors.
