Dr. Bose is a relativist addressing some of the key questions in relativistic astrophysics and cosmology by leveraging detections and insights from the emerging field of gravitational-wave astronomy, often combined with observations from electromagnetic telescopes and particle detectors. His research focuses on (a) contributing to the LIGO and LIGO-India projects, (b) characterizing one of the densest forms of matter in the universe, as found in neutron stars, (c) measuring the cosmic expansion rate, and (d) testing General Relativity and constraining alternative theories of gravity.

Dr. Bose is a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) and an elected member of the International Society of General Relativity and Gravitation (ISGRG) Committee (2019 – 2028). He is also a member of the Gravitational Wave Allies. For the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, he chairs multiple scientific analysis, search and result reviews and is the Data Quality Shift Coordinator.
