Tidal disruption events
Spin and inclination effects on tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole.
Tamanjyot Singh
Hi! I am a physics graduate from The University of Texas at Dallas, where I worked with Dr. Michael Kesden.
My primary research interests lie in understanding the observational imprints of the spin of the black holes on various astrophysical phenomenas. I focussed on tidal disruption events by spinning supermassive black holes and precessional (and nutational) effects on gravitational wave signals from binary black holes in my graduate research.
Interested in collaboration, outreach, or just chatting about black holes? Feel free to reach out! You can find my contact and research information below.
When I am not working, I enjoy playing basketball, reading and writing punjabi poetry, and dancing (mostly bhangra!).

Talks
Here are a few presentations from some of the talks I have given at conferences.
ICGC 2023, IIT Guwahati, India
- I attended this conference while visiting family in India. Here are the slides for the talk: "Inclination distributions in tidal disruption events by spinning supermassive black holes".
APS April Meeting 2024, Sacramento, CA
- This was my first APS april meeting presentation. Slides are attached here: "Gravitational wave signals from precessing binary black hole inspirals".
APS Global Physics Summit 2025, Anaheim, CA
- The slides from my second APS talk can be downloaded by clicking on the title of the talk: "Gravitational wave signals from precessing and nutating binary black holes".
APS Global Physics Summit 2026, Denver, CO
- Rounding out with 4th project of my dissertation: Lensing vs Precession in GW signals. I presented this work at the APS global physics summit on March, 18, 2026. Here are the slides for the talk: "Can we distinguish lensing and precession effects in gravitational wave signals?".
