I am interested in working on various aspects of Gravitational Wave astrophysics. Currently, my work revolves around the Gravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves (GWs).
My current works on microlenisng (diffraction) effects of gravitational lensing of GWs are listed here:
U. Deka, G. Prabhu, M.A. Shaikh, S.J. Kapadia, V. Varma, S. E. Field
Surrogate modeling of gravitational waves microlensed by spherically symmetric potentials. arXiv, 2025. (Accepted for publication in PRD)
U. Deka, S. Chakraborty, S.J. Kapadia, M.A. Shaikh, P. Ajith
Probing charge of compact objects with gravitational microlensing of gravitational waves. Phys Rev D, 2025, arXiv, 2024.
U. Deka, A. Ganguly, S. Bhattacharyya, P. Ajith
Constraints on fraction of compact dark matter using microlensing of gravitational waves: inclusion of astrophysical lens models. (draft in preparation)
G. Prabhu, U. Deka, S. Chakraborty, S.J. Kapadia
Probing the spin of black holes using gravitational microlensing of gravitational waves. (work in progress)
Before delving into the world of GWs, I spent some time working with Dr. Sushan Konar, at NCRA-TIFR, Pune, on nulling pulsars. The published work can be found here:
