Education:

• PhD (University of Toronto)

Research Interests:

• General Relativity
• Relativistic Astrophysics
• Computer Algebra
• Black Hole Physics
• Gravitational Collapse

Recent studies include the propagation of discontinuities in solutions to Einstein’s equations (cosmological structure formation) and the dynamics of gravitational collapse leading to naked singularities. His work emphasizes integrating computational tools with theoretical frameworks to advance understanding of astrophysical processes and cosmology.

Publications reflect a focus on applying computer algebra to Einstein’s equations and exploring foundational questions in relativistic astrophysics. He has advised three students: Dr. S. M. M. Rahman in 2018, 2019, and 2020. No grant or award information is explicitly provided.
