Prof. Gadre's research focuses on gravitational wave (GW) astronomy and astrophysics, with particular emphasis on understanding black hole binary formation and evolution, and advancing multi-messenger astronomy through efficient low-latency GW detection methods.
Prior to joining IUCAA, I held postdoctoral positions at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (AEI) and Utrecht University, where I contributed to compact binary detection pipelines and developed a surrogate waveform model for characterizing precessing compact binary mergers.
At IUCAA, my work centers on developing low-latency gravitational wave search algorithms that enable rapid multi-messenger follow-up observations — a critical capability for LIGO-India and future-generation gravitational wave detectors. I focus on creating efficient detection pipelines that can operate in real-time, enhancing our ability to promptly identify and characterize astrophysical events.
In parallel, I intend to perform focused searches for a variety of compact binary systems, such as possible supermassive black hole mergers, intermediate-mass black hole binaries, and sub-solar mass objects. This research explores previously inaccessible regions of the gravitational wave parameter space, contributing to a more complete understanding of black hole populations and their astrophysical formation mechanisms across cosmic history.
