    Title: Dynamics of black hole accretion. Of flux-tubes, plasmoids and transient phenomena

    Abstract: Over the last two decades, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations (GRMHD) have drawn a robust broad-brush picture of black hole accretion and jet formation in low-luminosity sources.  The observations by the Event Horizon Telescope and the GRAVITY interferometer now probe accretion physics with unprecedented detail requiring equally sophisticated...

    Title: Einstein's War: How World War I Made Relativity

    Abstract: Einstein’s ascent to worldwide celebrity was, in large part, not his own doing. The 1919 confirmation of the German Einstein’s theory of general relativity by British astronomers soon after the end of the First World War made him an emblem of how science...

    Title: Observational signatures of near-extremal Kerr black holes

    Abstract: In this talk I will present some of my recent work on potential observational signatures of near-extremal and extremal Kerr black holes. The emphasis of this work is on the late-stages of the gravitational wave signal (quasi-normal phase and later) from such black holes, and is of relevance to current and future generation gravitational wave observatories like LIGO/Virgo and LISA. These results are...
