Forschungsinteressen
I am interested in the connection between numerical relativity, gravitational wave and kilonova modeling, and multi-messenger astronomy.
In particular, I am
- studying the moving puncture method to model black hole spacetimes.
- performing general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of binary neutron star systems.
- developing gravitational-wave models for the analysis of binary neutron star and black hole - neutron star systems.
- simulating exotic compact objects and trying to understand the imprint of dark matter on the compact binary coalescence.
- modeling and interpreting kilonovae and other electromagnetic transients.
- interested in constraining the Hubble constant and the equation of state of supranuclear dense matter within a nuclear physics multi-messenger astronomy framework.
