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.

The Center for Gravitation and Cosmology is supported by NSF grants PHY 0200852, PHY 0421416, and PHY 0079683.
