My research focuses on gravitational and particle phenomena in the early universe

Previous and ongoing work includes:

  • in-depth investigation of primordial black hole (PBH) formation in multifield inflation models (relevant publications: arXiv:2205:04471/PRD:106-063535)

  • PBH dark matter and gravitational waves (relevant publications: arXiv:2303:02168)

  • classical gravity: defining the total energy of a patch of spacetime of arbitrary curvature (v1: in matter domination, can be found at: arXiv:1801.02249, v2 - for arbitrary perfect fluid domination-is upcoming)

  • Using advanced lattice simulations to model gravitational waves produced during first order phase transitions

  • Studying the cosmic neutrino background and effects of neutrino decoupling on supermassive black hole seeds

  • Higgs inflation and cosmological implications of a new type of criticality
