    Supervisor: Prof. Martin Hendry
    During my doctoral research I developed mathematical modelling and inference techniques for wave-Dark Matter lenses. I applied mathematical models for analysis in parameter estimation to gravitational waves by research visits to Chinese University of Hong kong(CUHK) and the Universitat de les Illes Balears(UIB).
