Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBhooshan Gadre is an Assistant Professor and gravitational-wave scientist with over a decade of experience building fast, reliable algorithms and infrastructure for real-time and archival searches of compact-object mergers. He has led low-latency systems and archival searches for sub-solar mass black holes at AEI-Potsdam and Utrecht, and contributed backend fixes to the widely used PyCBC library that powered the first direct detection of gravitational waves. Combining expertise in Bayesian statistics, machine learning, and time-series analysis, he develops surrogate models and workflows that deliver large speedups without sacrificing accuracy. At IUCAA he balances research, teaching, and program management while mentoring the next generation of astrophysicists. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of standardizing Python-based processes to boost team productivity in high-throughput scientific environments.
