About Me

I am currently pursuing my PhD at the IMAPP institute at Radboud University, Nijmegen, where I am supervised by Badri Krishnan and Erik Schnetter. My research focuses on numerical relativity and gravitational self force. As a side project I am developing higher order accurate Summation by Parts Operators for spherical symmetry. As part of my academic journey, I have transitioned to working with Julia, and this decision has been incredibly rewarding—I have fully embraced it and never looked back.

Research Interest

My research primarily revolves around employing numerical relativity techniques to calculate the gravitational self force. I am especially interested in the IMRI-EMRI systems which are potential observational targets of the LISA mission. In parallel, I am developing higher order Summation by Parts Operators for spherical symmetry, including the origin in the domain.
