"Never underestimate the power of the dark side", Yoda, Jedi Master

My research interests lay in the intersection between Gravitational Wave Physics, Fundamental Physics, and Cosmology, while the methodology I am using shares input from Mathematical Physics, Computational Physics, and Machine Learning. More specifically, I am trying to answer the question how we can use gravitational waves to gain further knowledge about fundamental physics and beyond standard model physics. For that purpose, I study the structure and dynamics of the most compact objects known to exist in the Universe, namely neutron stars and black holes, in specific well-motivated modifications of Einstein’s gravity and confront these findings against gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations. The generalizations of Einstein’s gravity we consider are motivated primarily by cosmology, from the attempts to quantize gravity, or from the theories trying to unify all the interactions, and often they can serve as an effective explanation of the dark energy and dark matter puzzles.

To pursue these objectives, I have undertaken both analytical and numerical approaches in my research. This computational aspect of my work is something that truly excites me, as it allows me to delve deeper into the intricacies of the subject matter and explore complex phenomena using advanced computational techniques.
