The Cambridge Gravitational-Wave Network
CamGW researchers work on a wide range of topics in gravitational wave science, from theoretical developments to data analysis and astrophysical interpretation.
Research on the theoretical foundations of gravitational waves, including general relativity, alternative theories of gravity, and fundamental physics tests.
Computational simulations of gravitational wave sources, including binary black hole mergers, neutron star collisions, and other extreme astrophysical events.
Development and application of data analysis techniques for gravitational wave detectors, including signal processing, parameter estimation, and statistical methods.
Study of black holes, neutron stars, and other compact objects as gravitational wave sources, including their formation, evolution, and properties.
Research on improving gravitational wave detectors, including quantum noise reduction, optical systems, and future detector concepts.
Combining gravitational wave observations with electromagnetic and neutrino observations to gain a comprehensive understanding of astrophysical events.
Using gravitational waves to probe the early universe, dark energy, and the expansion history of the cosmos.
Details of specific ongoing research projects will be added here.
