When two neutron stars collide, what is left behind? We develop methods and look for gravitational-wave signatures from the newborn remnant object after the collisions of binary neutron star systems.

Ultralight boson particles have been predicted to solve problems in particle and high-energy physics and are compelling dark matter candidates. We develop algorithms and search for these conjectured ultralight bosons around black holes via gravitational-wave observations. 

The event of two merging neutron stars, GW170817, was observed in gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum, opening a new era of multi-messenger astronomy. We work on following up electromagnetic counterparts to future detections of gravitational waves and are ready to contribute to the new science of multi-messenger astronomy. 

In this project, we develop data analysis methods and analyse the gravitational-wave data collected by ground-based detectors like Advanced LIGO and Virgo to look for weak gravitational radiation from spinning neutron stars.
