Liana Rauf
- Dr, Postdoctoral Researcher
- Australian National University
In my work, I have developed a pipeline to combine the population synthesis code, COMPAS, with the semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, shark, to study the relationship between binary black hole mergers and host galaxies. This work can be used to constrain uncertainties in the parameters and model assumptions in population modelling, and improve follow up of gravitational wave events for the implementation of the dark siren technique. In OzGrav, I will continue to extend on this work, to further explore the synergy between astrophysics and cosmology in the context of gravitational wave research.
I also bring my experience with teaching first and second year physics. I endeavour to contribute to any science communication and outreach opportunities within OzGrav.
