About GWSky

GWSky is an ERC Synergy Grant project led by Enrico Barausse (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, Trieste – SISSA), Zvi Bern (University of California, Los Angeles – UCLA), Alessandra Buonanno (Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Potsdam – Albert Einstein Institute), and Maarten van de Meent (Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen). By bringing together their expertise in black hole astrophysics, quantum field theory methods, non-linear strong field dynamics, and gravitational-wave modeling, GWSky will provide a comprehensive theoretical framework and cutting-edge tools for interpreting and understanding the deluge of gravitational wave observations anticipated from future LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing runs and next-generation ground- and space-based detectors. These innovative tools will empower us to uncover the secrets of the unexpected discoveries that lie ahead.
