Short Introduction
Understanding gravity is crucial for elucidating the origin and evolution of the universe. General Relativity, tested in weak gravitational fields and short-distance scales, is widely accepted as the standard theory of gravity in the modern cosmological model. However, to address unresolved issues such as the universe's accelerated expansion and the integration of quantum theory with gravity theory, various extended theories of gravity have been proposed. I have focused on testing theories of gravity under extreme environments, and have studied experimentally, analytically, and theoretically the phenomenon of space-time distortions propagating as waves, known as gravitational waves.
