Welcome to the Home Page of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Center for Gravitation and Cosmology.
The group's research interests include relativistic astrophysics and
numerical relativity with an emphasis on binary inspiral; analysis of
data from LIGO gravitational wave detectors and from the proposed LISA
observatory; gravitational-wave phenomenology; cosmology; quantum and
classical gravitation; quantum fields in curved spacetime; and cosmic
ray astrophysics and neutrino astronomy, with applications to particle
physics and cosmology.
The gravitational physics group at UWM is among the nation's largest
and most active, with eight faculty members: Bruce
Allen, Luis
Anchordoqui, Patrick
Brady, Jolien
Creighton, John
Friedman, M.Alessandra Papa, Leonard
Parker, and Alan
Wiseman. Members of the Center for Gravitation and Cosmology
play an important role in the LIGO Scientific
Collaboration (LSC), concentrating on data analysis for the
LIGO-I experiment.
