CV

PhD Physics

• Gravitational-wave physics
• Supervised by Prof. Otto A. Hannuksela and Prof. Tjonnie G. F. Li

MSc Astronomy & Astrophysics

• Thesis title "A phenomenological study of gravitational-wave signatures in higher-derivative gravity"

BA (Hons) Physics

Unravelling Dark Matter with Gravitational-Waves. Gravitational-wave millilensing

• Developed a lens-model independent framework for analysing lensed GW signals, and implemented into the LIGO Lensing Subgroup search pipeline

Millilensed or precessing?

• The first comprehensive study of distinguishing millilensed GWs from precessing signals in the context of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detections

Millilensing-induced systematic biases in parameterised tests of General Relativity

• Identified and quantified biases in tests of GR within the parameterised post-Einsteinian framework, employing Bayesian analysis and semi-analytic tools

Black-hole archaeology. Ancestral masses, spins and birth kick estimates from LIGO and Virgo data

• Analysed exceptional GW events involving mass-gap black holes, to reveal the crucial role of eccentricity in identifying host environments of binary black holes
