  • Dr, Chief Investigator
  • Australian National University


I am a research fellow at the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics (CGA) at the Australian National University. I am a member of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) Scientific Collaboration, and one of the Chief Investigators of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav).

My primary research interests are gravitational-wave data analysis and studying fundamental physics from gravitational-wave observations, including:

  • black hole superradiance, ultralight bosons, particle dark matter
  • black hole spectroscopy
  • binary neutron star post-merger physics
  • continuous waves from neutron stars
  • calibration of the gravitational-wave detectors
  • science of the next-generation detectors

In particular, I am interested in bringing together advanced computing and signal processing techniques, gravitational-wave data and theory, as well as the understanding of the instruments for gravitational-wave observation.
