Bio/Research

Professor Flanagan's research topic is the physics of strong gravitational fields. His research group develops quantitative models of processes involving neutron stars, black holes, and the early Universe, which are useful for comparison with data from gravitational wave detectors. Recently the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave (LIGO) has come on-line, opening up a new window onto the Universe and starting a new branch of astronomy. Other research topics include the exploration of models of the early Universe involving extra dimensions and membranes, and some mathematical issues in classical and semiclassical general relativity.
