About

My name is Aditya Vijaykumar.

• I was born in Perinthalmanna, Kerala, but lived in Pune, Maharashtra till I went to college.

• I currently reside in Toronto, where I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA). I did my PhD in Physics at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) in the Astrophysical Relativity group.

• I was an undergraduate student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, where I had Physics and Mechanical Engineering as my majors.

• I work on various physics and astrophysics aspects of gravitational waves. My work involves both theory and computation, as well as an understanding of experimental data from gravitational-wave detectors. More information about my research can be found here.

• Apart from academic research, I used to direct and act in stage-theatre productions with the theatre outfit StageCraft in Bangalore (Facebook Instagram). I used to also run a weekly podcast called Cut to Scene. Check my non-academic page for more.
