  <p>
  I am a first-generation astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, with a decade of dedication to gravitational-wave (GW) astrophysics. In January 2025, I will be the inaugural Sikh to graduate with a PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics from Harvard. I was also the youngest member of the <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/">International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN)</a> that discovered GWs from <a href="https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102">two merging binary black holes</a>. This singular discovery earned our global team numerous accolades, including the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, the UK Royal Astronomical Society Group Achievement Award in Astronomy, the Princess of Asturias Award from His Majesty the King of Spain, the Bruno Rossi Prize in High Energy Astrophysics from the American Astronomical Society in 2017, and the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2018. Additionally, I have co-authored 100 scientific publications with more than 10,000 citations and have delivered numerous invited talks at universities, government summits, and media events.

- <p>My primary research interest lies in the detection of gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). This involves using a variety of detectors, including terrestrial, space-based, and lunar-based detectors. The successful detection of these waves would mark a significant milestone in the field of gravitational wave astronomy, similar to the initial discovery of gravitational waves. Additionally, I am involved in the study of binary black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, and the development of advanced data analysis techniques for gravitational wave detection.</p>

+<p> How do massive stars die? What triggers these cataclysmic catastrophes? I have spent a better part of my life trying to answer these very questions. My research has focused on the first detection of <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020PhRvD.101h4002A/abstract">gravitational waves (GWs)</a> from <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016PhRvD..93d2002G/abstract">core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe)</a> using both terrestrial and <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv240513211G/abstract">proposed lunar-based interferometers</a>. Detecting GWs from a CCSN would mark the next watershed moment in the nascent field of GW astronomy. GWs, generated by the quadrupole distribution of energy and mass, are intricately linked to the inner dynamics of the explosion mechanism triggering a core-collapse supernova. They provide unprecedented insights into the degrees of asymmetry at the moment of explosion and the underlying mechanisms causing the explosion of a massive star.

+Recent neutrino-driven CCSN simulations have begun to converge on the essential phases and signatures of the GW signal and their origin in supernova microphysics. GW astronomy for CCSNe presents unique challenges compared to detecting GWs from compact binary systems: while the waveforms are expected to be predominantly stochastic, critical deterministic features carry imprints of the underlying physics. Additionally, the energy conversion into GWs varies depending on the progenitor and the detailed explosion mechanism. Even the most favorable GW emission mechanisms suggest detectability with current and proposed laser interferometers does not extend beyond the local Universe (a few tens of megaparsecs). For many models, the expected detection range is within our galaxy, where the rate of CCSNe is about 1 in 50 years. Therefore, performing GW science with CCSNe requires concerted efforts across multiple fields. This includes improving GW detector sensitivities, continuing the development of reliable CCSNe simulations, incorporating progenitor physics along with using <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022ApJ...931..159G/abstract">optical data from telescopes around the world</a>, and advancing data analysis techniques to establish a true multi-messenger approach by combining all available observations.</p> </div>

  <p>I am committed to engaging with the community and sharing the excitement of astrophysics and gravitational wave research. I have given numerous talks at schools, universities, and public events to inspire the next generation of scientists. I also work on outreach programs aimed at increasing diversity in STEM fields, with a focus on supporting women and underrepresented minorities. By communicating the importance and wonder of astrophysics, I hope to encourage more young people to pursue careers in science.</p>
