Bio

Dr. Kedia received his PhD in 2022 from the University of Notre Dame. He was a postdoctoral research associate at the Rochester Institute of Technology from 2022-2024.

Area(s) of Expertise

Dr. Kedia works on multi-messenger astrophysics involving neutron stars. He studies the production of heavy elements in neutron rich environments of neutron star merger ejecta and the generation of the radioactively powered kilonova emission. He also works on connecting various observations of neutron stars studying gravitational wave, kilonova, and pulsar observations to understand the dynamics and ejecta formation from merging neutron stars and the nuclear equation of state.
