Current Research
My research is focused on reducing thermal noise in interferometric gravitational wave detectors.
Currently this is directed towards two main areas. Firstly, installation of developments of
instrumentation conceived for the UK-German GEO detector into the larger US LIGO detectors, to
form an Advanced LIGO system capable of ‘seeing’ astrophysical sources in a 1000 times greater
volume of the Universe than current detectors. Secondly, my current research is targeted at enabling a
future European detector on the post-2017 timescale, with a design study for such a ‘3rd generation’
detector under the EC Framework 7 program recently approved for funding.
