Research Interests:
My research interests span across Astrophysics and AMO (Atomic, Molecular & Optical). I am currently working on an astrophysics research project with the Laser-Interferometer Gravitational Waves Observatory group (LIGO) at UMN. My project is focused on estimating the chirp masses of Compact Binary Coalescence (CBC) - that includes binary black holes, black hole & neutron star, and binary neutron star mergers. The estimation comes from the information available in low-latency from search pipelines uploads and skymaps, as well as parameter estimations (PE), and is validated through comparisons with injections from simulated events in the Mock Data Challenge (MDC) datasets. Additionally, I recently became interested in research at the intersection of AMO and low-temperature physics. My research interests span across Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics and low-temperature physics. I am interested in experimental and computational approaches to studying quantum systems and matter under extreme conditions. My focus includes precision measurements using atomic clocks, ion-trapping techniques to investigate ultracold atoms and their quantum behaviors. Additionally, I am drawn to projects involving radiative transfer, atomic interactions, and optical cooling techniques, which offer insights into fundamental physics and practical applications in quantum technologies
My Advice for How to Get Involved in Research:
Getting involved in research starts with reaching out—don’t be afraid to email professors! Attend office hours, ask questions, and show interest in their work. Your Graduate TAs are also great resources—many are PhD researchers who can help you find opportunities in their groups. The key is to be proactive and curious!
