Main Focus
My research is focused on tests of gravity in the strong-field regime with gravitational-wave observations. I work on tests of the nature of the astrophysical sources by modeling the inspiral and ringdown of compact binary coalescences.
Publications
Here are links to my publications: from Spires, and from the ADS database.
