Background
A. H. Fernando is a graduate research student in the Imaging Science Ph.D. program working with Prof. Richard O'Shaughnessy at the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG).
In his current work he collaborates with his research team to build novel mathematical and computational models/software tools using first-principled and data-oriented approaches to investigate ultra-high energy astrophysical events such as mergers of compact binary objects - primarily black holes and neutron stars. As a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, he works on detecting and interpreting gravitational waves from these mergers in both individual and broader astrophysical contexts.
Before joining RIT, Fernando gained extensive experience in both academia and various industries for several years.
