I work in gravitational-wave physics, with interests in gravitational-wave data analysis, Bayesian parameter estimation, template-bank construction, tests of general relativity, and next-generation gravitational-wave detectors.

My research focuses on methods for extracting astrophysical and fundamental-physics information from gravitational-wave observations, particularly for compact binaries and future detector networks.

I have been continuously associated with the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since 2001, initially as a student member and, since 2010, as a Senior Member. My early work in the collaboration included compact-binary searches and contributions to the LIGO Algorithm Library (LAL) and LALApps software infrastructure. I was part of what was then the Inspiral Upper Limits Group (IUL Group), which subsequently evolved into the Compact Binary Coalescence (CBC) Group. I currently serve as an LSC Council Member and am a Senior Member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.
