Banagiri, Sharan

Department:

Dr Banagiri was a CIERA Postdoc from 2021 – 2024

Dr. Banagiri’s research is broadly focused on studying the astrophysics of compact objects, i.e. black holes and neutron stars from a data-driven perspective.

He is broadly interested in gravitational-wave physics and data analysis methods for extracting astrophysical and cosmological information from them. He is also interested in upcoming GW detectors, especially Cosmic Explorer and LISA.

Since his research mostly focuses on the analysis of data, he is also interested in statistical methods and their applications to astrophysical problems.

He is a member of the LIGO scientific collaboration and the LISA consortium.

Aurora in Chicago

Between May 10 – 14, 2024 a series of powerful solar storms led to the production of visible aurorae far further towards the equator than normal. This photo was taken by CIERA Postdoctoral Fellow Sharan Banagiri. Banagiri captured this photo between 9 and 10PM on May 10 at Hollywood Beach in Edgewater, Chicago, Illinois, featuring

Dying stars’ cocoons could be new source of gravitational waves

When massive stars collapse into black holes, they may create powerful outflows (or jets) of particles traveling close to the speed of light. New simulations model this process — from the time the star collapses into a black hole until the jet escapes. For the first time, the simulations show that the cocoon of stellar
