Master's degree thesis topics

• Developing template banks to search for gravitational waves in coincidence with gamma-ray burst events

• Effets of higher order modes in the search for gravitational waves emitted by coalescing binary black holes

• Developing methods to constrain the neutron star equation of state with multimessenger observations of coalescing neutron star – black hole binary systems

• Optimization of pipelines to search for gravitational-wave signals emitted by coalescing black holes and neutron stars

• Characterizing the performance of gravitational-wave searches in the case of eccentric neutron star – black hole coalescing binary systems

Proposed PhD projects

• Developing the pipeline for the search of gravitational-wave signals in coincidence with gamma-ray burst events

• Carrying out the search for gravitational waves emitted by coalescing binary systems formed by black holes and/or neutron stars in LIGO-Virgo data from the fourth Observing Run

• Phenomenological modelling of gravitational waves emitted by the coalescence of a neutron star and a black hole that includes effects due to tidal interactions and the neutron star equation of state

• Phenomenological modelling of gravitational waves emitted by coalescing binary black holes with precession (i.e., with spins not parallel to the orbital angular momentum)
