Hi, I am Kanchan, a researcher who is interested in Gravitational Wave Astrophysics and Astronomy. My research primarily focuses on developing search techniques for detecting gravitational wave signals from compact binary coalescences. I am also interested in multimessenger astronomy.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Gravitational Waves Astronomy and Astrophysics at Syracuse University.
In the past, I completed my Ph.D. in the Gravitational Wave Astrophysics group of IUCAA. My doctorate thesis was prepared under the supervision of Prof. Sanjit Mitra.
