<h2>About</h2>
<p>
I am a member of the <a href="https://www.ligo.caltech.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LIGO</a> Scientific Collaboration and a <a href="https://www.usefp.org/scholarships/fulbright-degree.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Fulbright PhD Scholar</a> in Astrophysical Sciences and Technology
<a href="https://www.rit.edu/study/astrophysical-sciences-and-technology-phd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">(AST)</a>
at Rochester Institute of Technology <a href="https://www.rit.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">(RIT)</a>, working under the supervision of
<a href="https://ccrg.rit.edu/user/richard.oshaughnessy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prof. Richard O'Shaughnessy</a>.
My research focuses on population inference of compact binaries (binary black holes and binary neutron stars), with an emphasis on eccentricity using gravitational-wave data analysis.
I lead the development of <a href="https://github.com/gwkokab/gwkokab" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GWKokab</a>, a JAX-based computational framework for efficient and flexible population inference for sub-population studies including eccentricity.
</p>
<p>
I have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and regularly present my work at major international venues such as (<a href="https://www.ictp.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ICTP</a>, <a href="https://www.ias.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IAS</a>, <a href="https://www.aps.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">APS</a>, <a href="https://aas.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AAS</a>, and <a href="https://www.ligo.org/scientists.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LVK</a>).
I have also mentored undergraduate students to date through research projects in astrophysics.
</p>
<p>
Before starting my PhD at RIT, I served as a lecturer at the <a href="https://ucp.edu.pk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">University of Central Punjab</a> for two years, where I taught Calculus and Analytical Geometry, Special Relativity, and General Relativity to undergrad students.
I have completed two master's degrees: first <a href="https://inspirehep.net/files/a6d53e2bebed7f56079eb17e00f43267" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MS Mathematics</a> from COMSATS University, Pakistan and second <a href="https://repository.rit.edu/theses/11574/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MS Astrophysics</a> from RIT, USA.

<h2>Research Interests</h2>
<p>
Far away in the universe, pairs of <strong>black holes</strong> and <strong>neutron stars</strong> orbit each other for millions or even billions of years. As they spiral closer together and finally merge, they shake the fabric of spacetime and produce <strong>gravitational waves</strong>. These waves travel across the universe carrying information about the objects that created them, such as their <strong>masses</strong>, <strong>spins</strong>, <strong>distances</strong>, and <strong>orbital eccentricity</strong>.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>LIGO detectors</strong> are a remarkable achievement of science and engineering: they can measure incredibly tiny changes in length caused by passing gravitational waves. Once LIGO detects a signal, we use <strong>Bayesian inference</strong> and <strong>gravitational-wave data analysis</strong> to estimate the properties of each individual event. For example, we ask: how massive were the two black holes, how fast were they spinning, and did they merge in a nearly circular orbit or in an <strong>eccentric</strong> one?
</p>
<p>
My research takes the next step: instead of studying only one event at a time, I combine information from many detected events to understand the <strong>population as a whole</strong>. This is called <strong>population inference</strong>. I am especially interested in <strong>orbital eccentricity</strong>, because eccentric mergers can leave distinct signatures of <strong>dynamical formation</strong>, where compact objects meet and merge in dense environments such as <strong>star clusters</strong>. Through this work, I aim to understand how compact binaries <strong>form, evolve, and merge</strong> across the universe. Students and collaborators interested in Bayesian inference, Python programming, statistics, astrophysics, gravitational-wave data analysis, or scientific computing are very welcome to reach out.
