My field of expertise and research interests span from compact stars and multi-messenger astrophysics to strongly interacting matter properties and critical phenomena. I focus on studying the effects of dark matter on neutron stars and their merger dynamics. Together with my colleagues, we perform numerical relativity simulations of the coalescence of dark matter-admixed compact stars.

Another area of my research involves exploring the properties of strongly interacting matter across a broad range of temperatures and baryon densities, encompassing heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars. Using astrophysical data, I probe the existence of deconfined quark matter in the cores of neutron stars.
