Research
I
generally work on
several topics in Theoretical Astrophysics.
My main interests are neutron stars, supermassive black holes
(especially the one in our Galaxy, called SgrA*), and astrophysical
gravitational waves.
For my PhD, I
have worked on the theory of thermal
noise and on Quantum Nondemolition Measurements for LIGO. My
mentor was Kip Thorne, and I have also learned a lot of science
from Vladimir Braginsky who was visiting Caltech annually.
