Interests

My research focuses on gravitational wave physics, particularly on developing and applying cutting-edge data analysis techniques to test general relativity (GR) using gravitational wave observations.
By modelling and analysing signals from cosmic events like mergers of black holes or neutron stars, my work explores the limits of GR and seeks to identify potential deviations from its predictions, which could reveal new physics beyond our current understanding. I also study gravitational waves from neutron star binaries to infer the composition and properties of matter in the extreme conditions found in neutron star interiors.
