PhD position: Prof Eric Thrane

Monash University, Australia

Updated: about 2 hours ago
Deadline: The position may have been removed or expired!

I supervise a wide range of projects in gravitational-wave astronomy. This work is carried out within the Centre of Excellence for Gravitational-wave Discovery: OzGrav. As a member of my team, you will have the opportunity to interact with gravitational-wave researchers throughout Australia and around the world. Students in my group use data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in order to understand the fate of massive stars, to probe how binary black holes form, and to understand the nature of matter at the most extreme possible densities. Occasionally, we incorporate other data as well, from gamma-ray burst satellites to optical surveys of flaring supermassive black holes.

  • "Probing the population properties of merging binary black holes with gravitational waves "
  • "Searching for physics beyond general relativity with gravitational-waves " (with AProf Paul Lasky)
  • "Improving the sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors " (with AProf Paul Lasky)
  • "Detecting dark matter with the Cherenkov Telescope Array " (with Csaba Balazs)
