Why has the recent detection of gravitational waves been one of the most important discoveries in modern times for astrophysics? And what are the implications of the new Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detector for future discoveries about black holes? Philipp Podsiadlowski (Professor of Physics and Tutor in Physics)

St Edmund Hall Research Expo 2017: Teddy Talks

Advanced LIGO: the New Era of Gravitational Wave Astronomy

The Research Expo is a biennial event at St Edmund Hall, designed to showcase the breadth of research carried out at the College, by both academics and students. This series includes an overview video introducing the event, and then a set of short ‘Teddy Talks’ on a wide range of topics from gravitational waves to medieval history, all aimed at a non-specialist audience. The speakers are academics or postgraduate students at St Edmund Hall (also known as ‘Teddy Hall’), one of the colleges of the University of Oxford.
