Who I am

Theoretical physicist at NASA

Gravitational-wave science across the spectrum

  • Computing accurate signal models and designing effective search strategies for GWs from compact binaries.
  • Characterizing the extraction of physical information from GW signals.
  • Applying Bayesian methods to detect GWs and derive timing solutions with pulsar timing arrays.
  • Building the case for exploring astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics with space-based GW detectors.
  • And much more...

Three new articles

It seems that I have been getting new papers out faster than I could blog about them, so let me catch up with this post. The first is a LIGO paper, the second may be my last LISA paper for a while, and the third is about the statistical theory of extracting information from gravitational-wave signals. All three will be published in 2013, and all three are... good stuff.

New ECM video

An excerpt from the Sep 24, 2012 performance of Andrea Centazzo and Michele's "Einstein's Cosmic Messengers", presented at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to my fellow NASA scientists and engineers. The video includes my introduction and one of the music segments. See on video page.

New article on testing GR

I wanted to celebrate my birthday by posting a new preprint on the arXiv, but JPL wanted to make sure first that I wasn't giving away any big secrets (really), so I am a few days late. Nevertheless, I am happy that it's out now, and I think that it carries a useful result. Let me see if I can tell you briefly about it in this blog post. (That would be a nice tradition to start, wouldn't it?)
