Stability of black-hole spacetimes

PhD project, Chalmers University of Technology, 2026–. Supervisor: Thomas Bäckdahl.

Linear stability of the Kerr family, the field equations for linearised gravity on Kerr, and spinor methods for studying them.

The compacted GHP formalism

The compacted Geroch–Held–Penrose calculus as a tool for linear perturbations of type D vacuum spacetimes.

Gravito-electromagnetic duality in general relativity

IUCAA, Pune, 2025. With Naresh Dadhich.

Duality symmetry of the Einstein equations beyond vacuum, its action on the covariant phase space, and the associated dual charges.

Conformal structure, gravitational memory and angular momentum at null infinity

Master's thesis, AEI Potsdam and IUCAA, 2025–26. Supervisors: Sajad Aghapour and the late Naresh Dadhich.

Asymptotically flat spacetimes in Bondi–Sachs and conformal Gaussian null coordinates, the BMS group, flux–balance laws, the gravitational memory effect and the supertranslation ambiguity of angular momentum, including higher-dimensional Bondi–Sachs computations in xAct.

Gravitational Faraday and spin Hall effects

AEI Potsdam, 2023–24 (DAAD-WISE fellowship, summer 2024). With Sajad Aghapour.
