Prof David Shoemaker visited SNU Astronomy group
Prof David Shoemaker visited our group at SNU. Prof David Shoemaker led the advanced LIGO Project that enabled the first detection of gravitational wave in September of 2015 and also was a spokesperson of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration from 2017-2019.
Today Prof David Shoemaker joined our group in an exciting discussion on the future gravitational wave detectors - including LISA, Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope. We got many interesting insights on the Advanced LIGO project as well as an idea of the challenges that lies ahead in the future gravitational detectors.
