Overview

I am currently working as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at IIT Kharagpur, India. My research interests broadly lie in the field of various aspects of gravitation theory, with a particular focus on black holes and gravitational waves (GWs). My current research encompasses black hole perturbation techniques, extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), gravitational memory, tidal effects and post-Newtonian framework.
