THE ARC CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DISCOVERY A new window of discovery. A new age of gravitational wave astronomy. One hundred years ago, Albert Einstein produced one of the greatest intellectual achievements in physics, the theory of general relativity. In general relativity, spacetime is dynamic. It can be warped into a black hole. Accelerating masses create ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves (GWs) that carry energy away from the source. Recent advances in detector sensitivity led to the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015. This was a landmark achievement in human discovery and heralded the birth of the new field of gravitational wave astronomy. This was followed in 2017 by the first observations of the collision of two neutron-stars. The accompanying explosion was subsequently seen in follow-up observations by telescopes across the globe, and ushered in a new era of multi-messenger astronomy. The mission of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) is to capitalise on the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped spacetime, and to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and engineers through this new window on theUniverse.
OzGrav is funded by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence funding scheme, and is a partnership between Swinburne University (host of OzGrav headquarters), the Australian National University , Monash University , University of Adelaide , University of Melbourne , and University of Western Australia , along with other collaborating organisations in Australia and overseas. -------------------------INSTRUMENTATION

ASTROPHYSICS
OzGrav scientists and engineers are developing state of the art instrumentation for Advanced LIGO, the Square Kilometre Array and the next generation of gravitational wave detectorsOzGrav researchers sift through Petabytes of data to search for gravitational waves from black holes and neutron stars.
OzGrav astrophysicists use the gravitational waves detected by advanced LIGO and the SKA to probe the Universe in new and uniqueways.
-------------------------RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
28 OCTOBER 2020: We are delighted to congratulate OzGrav members Emeritus Professor David Blair (UWA), Professor David McClelland (ANU), Professor Susan Scott and Professor Peter Veitch, on receiving the 2020 Prime Minister's Prize for Science,
for their work leading to the first direct detection of a gravitational wave. This prestigious award is recognition for the many years of dedicated work that led to this ground-breaking discovery, which continues to yield new discoveries and scientific advances forAustralia
29 SEPTEMBER 2020: Congratulations to Prof Susan Scott (ANU) for being elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS Physics) for her role in groundbreaking discoveries in general relativity and gravitational wave science, advancing our understanding of the singularities and global structure of space-time and the nature of astrophysical signatures in gravitational wave experiments; and for promoting gravitational research worldwide. SEPTEMBER 2020: Congratulations to PhD students Chayan Chatterjee (UWA) and Nutsinee Kijbunchoo (ANU) winning their respective University finals of the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT). We wish them all the best for the 2020 Virtual Asia-Pacific 3MT Competition in October https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au/asia-pac/2020 18 MAY 2019: Congratulations to Professor David McClelland for being elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science for his career achievements in the detection of Gravitational Waves.
