About the Group: As a part of the broader astrophysics and fundamental physics research effort at CUHK, the group focuses on gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space-time. These waves carry information about some of the most extreme objects in the Universe. Thanks to gravitational-wave detectors’ continued development, the current gravitational-wave detectors now make weekly detections when online. The CUHK group focuses on gravity research and gravitational-wave observations, particularly connecting GW observations to other branches of physics.
