Research

I work on physics, astrophysics and data analysis aspects of gravitational waves. I also try to dabble in scientific computing now and then. My most updated CV can be found here.

If you have questions/comments about my work or the field in general, please do not hesitate to contact me at aditya [at] utoronto [dot] ca.

A list of my papers can be found below, and also on NASA ADS, arXiv. I have done a twitter thread accessible to non-experts for some of my released papers, linked below.
