We aim to attract and retain the very best researchers in the field, and have previously been successful in supporting a limited number of strong candidates in applying for prestigious Fellowships.
The Institute for Gravitational Research is part of the School of Physics and Astronomy.
We are organising the 2012 Gravitational Wave Bursts workshop between the 28th to 30th of May

Welcome
Welcome to the Institute for Gravitational Research at the University of Glasgow
The work of this institute, supported by STFC funding, is concentrated on the development of detectors to search for gravitational waves from astrophysical sources. The main areas of research are precision novel interferometric techniques and the development of systems of ultra low mechanical loss for the suspensions of mirror test masses. The group is also involved in the space-based LISA mission as well as data analysis activities within the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.
