Profile
Since 1999, I have been doing theoretical research on gravitational-wave physics. Gravitational waves are "ripples" of space-time curvature. They were first predicted by Albert Einstein, as a consequence of his general theory of relativity.
Because gravitational waves are weak, and because they are generated by exotic objects and processes, gravitational wave research really involves many disciplines of physics. I've worked on several different aspects.
