I am a theoretical astrophysics PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Brynmor Haskell. My broad research interests are:

  • Gravitational waves
  • Neutron stars
  • Numerical Astrophysics
  • Data analysis

My PhD thesis focused on understanding equilibrium magnetic field configurations in isolated neutron stars. I also studied how a newly born millisecond magnetar emits gravitational waves through fallback accretion and how multipolar magnetic fields can explain polarisation properties of radio pulsars. Previously, I have worked on data analysis to measure the Hubble constant using gravitational waves and galaxy catalogues.
