Gravitational waves from ultralight boson clouds around black holes

We study the numerical waveforms for the gravitational waves emitted during the black hole ringdown stage, implement tools and data analysis frameworks, and analyze the latest gravitational-wave data to estimate black hole properties and test the general theory of relativity.

Multi-messenger gravitational-wave astronomy

This project aims to build a novel framework to study supermassive black holes via their unique GW signatures, providing a multi-messenger tool to constrain galaxy formation in the early universe.

In 2017, the first discovery of gravitational waves from two colliding neutron stars heralded a new age of multi-messenger astronomy. But what was left over after the collision? This project aims to find out.
