Research

My research interests include gravity and cosmology. Einstein’s theory of general relativity is a well-established theory for gravitation and it has strong empirical support. However, there are several anomalies suggesting that it is not the final theory for gravity. In my research, I analyze whether these anomalies can be explained by some new theory of gravity. To decide which theories are viable, we must understand what predictions they make. Among other things, I am analyzing how these alternative theories behave with respect to cosmology, gravitational waves, and the origin of black holes.
