Bio

As an astro-particle physicist, my research primarily focuses on the study of Dark Matter (DM) and physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). My primary focus has been on the signatures of Dark Matter (DM) in astrophysical systems. This includes studying how the gravitational wave (GW) spectrum is modified when inspiraling objects accumulate dark charge, as well as examining the properties of observed black hole (BH) binaries to gain insights into the origins of the constituent BH. Currently, I am interested in the gravitational interactions between dark compact objects and baryonic matter, and its implications for the global 21-cm signal and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum. I am also working on the direct detection prospects of boosted sub-GeV dark matter at large-volume neutrino detectors.
