I am currently a visiting student researcher at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), working with Prof. Prayush Kumar. I am investigating the influence of strong magnetic fields, tidal deformability and eccentricity on gravitational waves from binary neutron stars. I am also studying normalizing flows to tackle questions in gravitational-wave astronomy.
In May 2023, I completed my BS-MS dual degree from the Indian Institute of Science Education and
Research (IISER) Pune. During my final year, I worked with Dr. Elena Cuoco (European Gravitational
Observatory and Scuola Normale Superiore) for my master's thesis. My research focused on the
detection and reconstruction of gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae.
In addition, I have worked in experimental particle physics with Prof. Sourabh Dube (IISER Pune).
It involved handling data from the CMS experiment at CERN and developing deep learning
algorithms to facilitate the analysis. I am particularly passionate about utilizing machine learning
algorithms to solve problems in physics.
Besides research, I enjoy listening to Indian classical music and dancing to hip hop beats. I have recently started learning to play the Indian percussion instrument Tabla.
