Her research is in numerical relativity and involves the use of computational methods and supercomputer resources to solve Einstein field equations of general relativity for extreme astrophysical events like black hole collisions, in order to predict the form of gravitational waves they emit. She spent the last three summers in at the University of Pittsburgh as a visiting scholar involved in joint research with Jeff Winicour on the simulation of gravitational radiation from black holes. She has been awarded four TeraGrid supercomputer awards, a NASA seed grant and two NSF awards.
