About me

👋 Hi there!

As a computational astrophysicist, my work revolves around modeling and detecting individual gravitational wave (GW) sources. I primarily focus on nanohertz GW astronomy using Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs). My research involves identifying astrophysical GW sources, developing robust data analysis pipelines, and building specialized software packages to detect rare classes of signals in noisy GW datasets.

Currently, my scientific interests have expanded toward the application of modern Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to GW data analysis — aiming to enhance source modeling, improve signal detection, and accelerate inference in complex astrophysical scenarios, particularly in the context of PTAs.

I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the National University of Singapore, working in the Gravitational Wave and Astrophysics group led by Dr. Alvin Chua. I completed my Ph.D. at Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai where I worked with Prof. A. Gopakumar. I did my integrated BS-MS at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal.

I am also a member of the Indian Pulsar Timing Array, the International Pulsar Timing Array consortium, and a former member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.
