Main Focus
I am currently working on the inclusion of the higher-order modes on the waveform models from the effective one body (EOB) formalism. I am also working on understanding the impact of higher-order modes in the parameter estimation of compact binary coalescence.
Publications
Here are links to my publications: from Spires, and from the ADS database.
