Funded Activity Summary

Capturing gravitational wave and electromagnetic flashes from binary merger. This project aims to contribute to one of the most momentous and long-anticipated discoveries in physics: the first detection of gravitational waves. The project plans to develop innovative technologies to detect gravitational waves using laser interferometers and enable prompt follow-up observations of gravitational wave sources by conventional telescopes. The outcome of this research would greatly help probe the nature of matter and gravity at extreme densities.
