Find out more about Philipp’s research by watching the short talk (aimed at a non-specialist audience) he gave at the 2017 St Edmund Hall Research Expo. In it he answers the following questions: why has the recent detection of gravitational waves been one of the most important discoveries in modern times for astrophysics? And what are the implications of the new Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detector for future discoveries about black holes?
