RESEARCH GROUP

Research of the Astrophysical Relativity group at ICTS broadly concerns with the astrophysical applications of Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. In particular, the group is interested in different aspects of gravitational-wave (GW) physics and astronomy, including the modelling of the astrophysical sources of GWs using analytical- and numerical relativity, observational GW astronomy, astrophysical tests of theories of gravity, relativistic astrophysics, cosmology, high-performance computing etc. Group members have active involvement in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the IndIGO collaboration. The group also envisage to develop active collaborations with other research groups of ICTS in areas such as high-performance computing, study of early Universe models etc.
