Interested students are encouraged to reach out to discuss potential research opportunities.
My research explores how colliding compact astrophysical objects, like black holes and neutron stars, generate gravitational waves, electromagnetic radiation and heavy elements, thus shaping the cosmos. My recent papers focus on simulating binary mergers and studying the impact of the collision on the dense matter within neutron stars. For a list of my publications, please visit the iNSPIRE page. You can also find links to my publications by clicking here.
Current Research Interests:
- Modeling gravitational waves emissions from binary black holes and neutron stars using advanced supercomputer simulations.
- Studying neutron star collisions as laboratories for extreme matter and sites for heavy element formation.
- Exploring multi-messenger signals as new pathways for discovering physics through gravitational waves, electromagnetic signals, and particle detections.
I enjoy involving undergraduate students in my research projects, many of which lead to publications.
“I am most fascinated by systems which involve exotic and/or extreme physics. Working with Dr. Hamilton made me contribute to understanding something that we as a species do not yet understand.” Alec O’Dell, Undergraduate.
