Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Auckland

Hi, I’m Avi!

I study black holes that smash into one another. More specifically, I use gravitational waves emitted from merging black holes to make inferences using Bayesian techniques. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Auckland, working with Prof. Renate Meyer. I am also a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, and the OzGrav Centre of Excellence.
