Bio

As a theoretical physicist, my research primarily focuses on the study of Dark Matter (DM) and physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). My work involves studying Gravitational Waves (GW) to understand how GWs can carry the signatures of various DM models. I also study the gravitational interaction of compact dark objects with baryons on large scales in both the early and present universe to search for observable signatures.

Some key projects I have worked on include a multi-year study on the modification of GW spectra when inspiralling objects accumulate DM that is charged under some dark force. Additionally, I have studied GW distortion by ultra-light DM and the three-body interactions between a binary star system and Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), which are well-motivated DM candidates. Recently, I have started to look at signs of PBHs using the 21 cm wavelength spectral line.
