Explore effective field theory methods and scattering amplitude techniques in gravitational physics through this 20-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Learn how effective field theory provides a systematic framework for describing gravitational interactions at different energy scales, and discover how modern scattering amplitude methods can be applied to gravitational wave physics. Examine the mathematical tools and computational techniques used to calculate scattering processes in gravity, including the connection between field theory approaches and amplitude calculations. Understand how these theoretical frameworks contribute to our understanding of gravitational wave generation and detection, particularly in the context of binary systems and their orbital dynamics. Gain insights into cutting-edge theoretical developments that bridge quantum field theory methods with classical gravitational physics, essential for advancing gravitational wave astronomy and improving waveform modeling for current and future detector networks.
