Gravitational waves announcement on RTE news

February 12, 2016 barry

RTE-small

With all of the excitement surrounding yesterday’s LIGO announcement, RTE News decided to come out to UCD and interview our group to get our impressions. I was  delighted to see a clip from my interview make it onto the evening news, and also into an article on the RTE website.

Dr Barry Wardell

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University College Dublin. My research interests involve the study of black holes, gravitational waves and cosmic strings. I am particularly focused on numerical and perturbation theory approaches to solving Einstein’s equations of General Relativity. I am leader of the UCD Relativity group, a co-lead of the Multiscale Self-Force collaboration, a member of the LISA DDPC, the LISA Consortium and LISA Ireland, a founding developer of the Black Hole Perturbation Toolkit, a contributor to the Einstein Toolkit, and PI on the EMRIWaveforms ERC Advanced Grant.
