I research spectral variability from neutron stars and black holes in X-ray binaries using spectral-timing analysis, to look for general relativistic signatures and to better understand how matter behaves in extremely strong gravitational fields.

Areas of interest: accreting X-ray binaries, neutron stars, black holes, quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), spectral-timing, variability, statistical methods, data science, Python programming, optimization algorithms, Fourier analysis, signal processing, general relativity, science outreach
