I am a gravitational-wave astronomer. I am currently an Associate Professor at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. I have worked to find and study binary neutron star, neutron star – black hole, and binary black hole mergers through their gravitational-wave signatures. I am a lead developer on the open source PyCBC package which we use to analyze LIGO/Virgo data, detect signals, and study them.

My interests include

• High Performance and High Throughput Computing
• Open source software development
• Dark matter signatures in gravitational-wave observations
• Development of advanced methodologies to detect and measure the properties of gravitational-wave sources
• Creation of public gravitational-wave catalogs
• Searching for novel and unusual classes of binary mergers
• Low-latency detection of gravitational-wave sources
• Multi-messenger observation
• Cosmic Explorer as the next-generation US observatory
