Research Interests:
Cosmic strings, gravitational waves, anthropic reasoning in cosmology,
energy conditions in general relativity.
Research:
My main area of research is the study of cosmic strings, in particular
their production of gravitational waves, which might enable us to
detect the cosmic string network, if it exists. Cosmic strings are
one of the potential sources of a stochastic background of
gravitational waves that (as of September 2020) may have been seen by
pulsar timing arrays. With my collaborators, I have developed a
large-scale simulation of cosmic strings, and we are the process of to
going from simulation results to predictions for the gravitational
wave background, with all effects included.
I also study gravitational waves and the possibilities of observing
them more generally. I am an associate member of NANOGrav (the North
American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves), which
observes gravitational waves using precision timing of pulsars.
I work on issues of anthropic reasoning in cosmology and how to make
sense of the infinite multiverse produced by eternal inflation. I
study the structure of eternally inflating universes and also the
philosophy of how to get from a model of what actually exists
everywhere in the universe to an understanding of what we ourselves
should expect to observe.
I have worked for many years on the question of exotic phenomena such
as superluminal travel and time travel in general relativity. My
collaborators and I showed that, subject to certain conditions, a
minimally-coupled quantum scalar field obeys the "achronal averaged
null energy condition", which prohibits exotic spacetimes. I am
currently working on the interaction between eternal inflation and
energy conditions.

Research Interests:
I am interested in histories and cultures of medicine, especially as they pertain to gender, kinship, caste, law, and everyday intimacies, with a regional focus on South Asia. I am also interested in the ways knowledge about bodies and minds moves across time and place, and how, in such movements, colonial, anti-colonial, and postcolonial scientific imaginations seed critical genealogies, often counterintuitively. In the diverse ways people make use of medicine and science, I am drawn to the forms of creativity, imagination, and ethical world-making that emerge in the interstices of authority and power. My research has considered childbirth, infant mortality, and birth-work in Uttar Pradesh, India, noting the way reproductive health interventions reiterate caste and the marginalization of Dalit women; women's movement through psychiatric care settings in urban north India and the intersections of kinship dissolutions with crisis and care; and histories of psychiatry and psychoanalysis in South Asia as they pertain to women's lives and gendered diagnoses, notably "hysteria" and its avatars.
