yay!

PS: The talk for the IAGRG award was delivered (virtually) in a conference taking place at BITS Pilani (my alma mater) was introduced by my GR professor, and was facing a room in which I've had many wonderful memories. Life does come full circle!

I'm honestly floored by these, and feel so much gratitude towards my colleagues, friends, and family, for making my thesis possible.

Slightly late post: I won *two* awards for my PhD thesis!

One by the Indian Association for General Relativity and Gravitation, and the other by the Astronomical Society of India!

We've almost got this working via asimov as well if you want to analyse *lots* of signals very fast.

Oh wow, I had no idea! Is there a branch I can check out?

Want to estimate parameters of GW signals in a short time on your laptop? Check out the implementation of relative binning (Cornish 2010, Zackay+ 2018) in bilby led by masters student Kruthi Krishna!

Neutron star parameters in a few hours (takes weeks otherwise)! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2312.06009

Wouldn't it be nice to know in what galaxies black holes lie? With Maya Fishbach, Susmita Adhikari, and Daniel Holz, we show that current data from gravitational wave detectors already has something to say about this!

Finally starting to put together a starter pack of awesome people working in black holes and relativistic astrophysics, gravitational-wave science, and related areas of gravitation. Suggestions for additions welcome!

Here's the beginning of starter pack for people and groups working on the theory, detection, or analysis of gravitational waves, or whose work is closely related to the field of gravitational waves. Please let me know who I've missed and I'll add them. go.bsky.app/HrAJX35

I mean I know there are much bigger problems but still

It feels so wrong that I am so close to the US, but can't go there coz I don't have a visa (earliest appointments are two years away).

I hope this isn't the case, but I am worried that this will impact my career. No conferences/meetings, not being to accept talk invites . . .

You guys are great tiff.net and definitely the best thing about my life in Toronto so far.

If anybody in Toronto wants to hang around with me on the weekends, this is where I'll be and maybe we can watch a movie together (I get two free tix to most of their screenings!).

OK I was half-worried that tiff.net membership would not be worth it when I bought it, but it has already paid for itself, *and* I get access to this beautiful film reference library (which, btw, isn't even full open today, but its already so good) and the TIFF members lounge.
