The work of Sylvia on stochastic gravitational-wave background featured in MIT News
A great study led by a student of the group, Sylvia Biscoveanu, showing that some of the mass information that can be calculated in real time by gravitational-wave searches is not biased, is now public. Read it here
A great study led by a student of the group, Ken Ng, about searching for ultralight bosons with gravitational waves, made it to the Arxiv. Read it here.
Third-generation gravitational-wave detectors will allow us to see black holes all the way to the end of the universe, and measure their merger rate. Read the paper and/or the Astrobites post
