About Me

Publications

1. Co-authored: The origin of the first neutron star -- neutron star merger

In Preparation

1. Localization of Binary Black Holes in the Local Universe

2. A Data Science Approach Towards the Local Abundance of Globular Clusters

Update localization analysis with Network Coherent Analysis from LIGO - 4/28/2018

1. based on the PhD work from Dr. Shihan Weerathunga
   1. use PSO optimizer from his PhD advisor Dr. Soumya D. Mohanty
   2. need to work on the inverse of ill-conditioned matrix, try [Tikanamov's work]
