From Data to Knowledge: Extracting Physics from Gravitational-wave DetectionGravitational-wave detection relies on measuring signals buried deep in the noise. I will give an overview of the techniques used to extract physics from gravitational-wave detections, such as Fisher Matrix and Markov Chain Monte Carlo.
Status and Prospects for Gravitational-Wave Astrophysics
The detections of gravitational waves from pairs of black holes or neutron stars have opened up the possibility to observe the Universe not possible before. I will review some of the existing results and discuss several exciting opportunities for gravitational-wave astrophysics.
