<p>
I am a first-generation astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, with a decade of dedication to gravitational-wave (GW) astrophysics. In January 2025, I will be the inaugural Sikh to graduate with a PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics from Harvard. I was also the youngest member of the <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/">International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN)</a> that discovered GWs from <a href="https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102">two merging binary black holes</a>. This singular discovery earned our global team numerous accolades, including the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, the UK Royal Astronomical Society Group Achievement Award in Astronomy, the Princess of Asturias Award from His Majesty the King of Spain, the Bruno Rossi Prize in High Energy Astrophysics from the American Astronomical Society in 2017, and the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2018. Additionally, I have co-authored over a 100 scientific publications with more than 10,000 citations and have delivered numerous invited talks at universities, government summits, and media events.
