What if we strip away all these things from them, then what is left? How can we define ourselves without citations, absolutely. Defining […]

Alright, I’m Zeno! I took up my GraWIToN position at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in January 2015. My job is to find out how to build perfect mirrors. So much for my work, which only fills my days since when I wake up (this varies a lot) to midnight or so. In the time […]

Hey, I’m Daniel and I’m a gravitational wave physics PhD student at the University of Birmingham, UK. My main research interest is to optimising and improving gravitational wave observatories by building and investigating computer models of these huge interferometers. As the rest of us in GraWIToN (one exception though), I’m not from the country I’m […]

My name is Akshat Singhal, I was born in Delhi, India. I recently joined the GraWIToN project (November 2015) as a Data Analyst in Continuous Gravitational Waves. My work, in essence, is to look at the data coming from the detectors and analyse whether or not it contains a gravitational wave; and, if yes, its […]

Hi, this is Imran Khan from Pakistan, the early stage researcher 7 in the GraWIToN project. My research area is experimental optics and I am working with the team responsible for thermal compensation systems in the Advanced Virgo detector, where I work with squeezed light (a special form of light that exhibits low quantum noise).
