Research Area: Geometry and Analysis
Description:

One of the most intriguing consequences of General Relativity is the existence of gravitational waves which can be though of as ripples of the fabric of spacetime spreading through it. The aim of this project is to explore the basic properties of gravitational waves at both the linear and non-linear regime.
