Shaon Ghosh is an Associate Professor of Physics at Montclair State University and a decade-long LIGO Scientific Collaboration researcher specializing in gravitational-wave astronomy, neutron star equation-of-state inference, and low-latency data infrastructure. He led development of the EM-Bright pipeline for real-time gravitational-wave source classification and created telescope tiling tools used by facilities like ZTF and BlackGEM to hunt electromagnetic counterparts. Shaon is the principal developer of GWXtreme, a package for rapid model comparison of neutron star equations of state, bridging advanced data analysis with observational follow-up. His work uniquely blends hands-on software engineering for real-time alerts with astrophysical modeling and undergraduate teaching that emphasizes computational skills. Based in New Jersey, he brings a track record of turning complex signal-processing challenges into operational systems for multi-messenger astronomy.
