Main Focus
My main focus so far has been the gravitational-wave lensing and the tests of general relativity. I am also interested in machine learning based techniques for gravitational waves data analysis. In my PhD, I had developed a pipeline for rapid strong lensing identification (LensID) and contributed analysis for strong lensing searches in the LVK data in its third observing run. Currently, I am investigating the wave-optics lensing of gravitational waves which would be probed by LISA and may allow us to constrain the dark matter distribution of the universe, do precision cosmology etc.
