Biography

Alexander received his PhD in 2020 from Cornell University and has since worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Virginia from 2020 to 2023. In 2023, he joined the University of Southampton as a Research Fellow in the School of Mathematical Sciences. His research focuses on classical general relativity, particularly in areas such as self-force and the influence of emitted gravitational waves on the orbit of a small, stellar-mass body around a large, supermassive black hole. He is also involved in studying gravitational wave memory effects and the relevant non-oscillatory components of gravitational wave signals, contributing to the development of current and planned gravitational wave detectors.
