Swetha Bhagwat is a Stephen Hawking Fellow in the Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, UK. She obtained her PhD from Syracuse University, New York. Following this, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Sapienza University of Rome. Her primary research interest is in probing fundamental physics using gravitational-wave observations and in studying the spacetime dynamics around black holes.
