Rob Ward from the Department of Quantum Science, ANU Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University conducts a talk on measuring storms in space-time. He has been working to detect gravitational waves since 2003 when he joined the Laser-Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) lab as a PhD student at the California Institute of Technology. He will be speaking at the event on observations so far, and the instrumentation-focused research program at the Australian National University aiming to expand the horizons of gravitational wave detectors by attacking the limiting noise sources, of fundamental and technical origin. At Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram. From 4.15 pm.
