I explore the Universe through Bayesian inference of massive and multimessenger datasets enabled by machine learning emulation and GPU-acceleration. The coming era of astronomy will be hallmarked by Petabyte-scale datasets from large surveys, observational data spanning the electromagnetic and gravitational-wave spectrums, and unprecedented machine learning and computational capabilities. My work aims to synthesize information across this complex, multimodal, and multimessenger landscape by leveraging cutting-edge technology and principled statistical frameworks.

    A New Multiband Source Class

    Criswell et al. (2026) establish a new low-frequency multiband gravitational-wave signal class which could use pulsars across the Milky Way to peer back in time and observe a massive black hole binary system thousands of years before merger.
