It took nearly 1.5 billion years to arrive and was here for less than two hundred milliseconds, but one microscopic movement was enough for scientists to claim one of the most significant discoveries in the world of physics this century — a discovery in which Georgia Tech researchers played an integral role.
Around 90 graduate students will present research at the annual Career Research and Innovation Development Conference.
Associate Professor Deirdre Shoemaker, Ph.D. candidate Karan Jani, and Postdoctoral Research Fellow James Clark discuss the astrophysical implications of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) discovery of gravitational waves. The LIGO Scientific Collaboration includes two Georgia Tech College of Sciences faculty members and their team of 10 postdoctoral fellows, graduate, and undergraduate students.
