ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery approved
The Australian Research Council announced
this morning the outcomes of the
Centres of Excellence
scheme, and I'm delighted to report that our Centre for Gravitational Wave
Discovery, aka OzGRav, was approved! The Centre, led by Swinburne's
Prof. Matthew Bailes,
will support research into detecting gravitational waves with interferometric
detectors like Advanced LIGO as well as
the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array. Nineteen Chief Investigators from six Australian universities will
join with 15 partners from Australia and all over the world, in a program
extending for the next 7 years. A great time to be a gravitational wave astronomer!
