About

KCGRG consists of Elias C. Vagenas (Leader), Saurya Das,  Gaetano Lambiase, Samar Safi-Harb, Tyrone E. Woods, Nathan Steinle, and several PhD, MSc, and BSc students. The research interests of KCGRG is gravitational physics, cosmology, astrophysics. All members of KCGRG are involved in LISA mission.
