Ripples in Space Time Presented by Dr. Ilana MacDonald, Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of Toronto
Ilana MacDonald, recently awarded her PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto, will discuss her research in gravitational waves, or ripples in space time, produced by two black holes in close orbit around each other, and the possibility that these ripples will be detected by sensitive detectors in the next few years.
