Explore cutting-edge research in gravitational wave physics through this astrophysics seminar that examines how hundreds of detected gravitational waves are advancing our understanding of the Universe and its fundamental laws. Discover the theoretical models and data analysis tools developed for connecting gravitational-wave observations with fundamental physics and astrophysical theories. Learn about linear and nonlinear black hole ringdown modeling and its connection to the recently announced detection of ringdown quasinormal modes in GW250114. Examine research on diffraction lensing of gravitational waves by minihalos and review preliminary results for the new event GW231123. Understand the development and applications of the IAS gravitational-wave search pipeline, along with insights into ongoing work and future research projects in gravitational wave astronomy and tests of general relativity.
