A team of OzGrav scientists have designed a table-top demonstration to explain gravitational-wave searches and signal processing techniques. Read more here: scitechdaily.com/continuous-gra…

Excited for these to arrive and make their way out with our outreach sessions. Thanks Krystal De Napoli and Karlie Alinta Noon Grab yours booktopia.com.au/astronomy-karl…

Launching Thursday! Check out Carl's space-time projections, visible during the Firelight Festival which is on between the 1st-3rd of July, 889 Collins St, Docklands (Melbourne) #OzGrav #Astronomy #RenewDocklands

Huge congratulations to Susan Scott on the tremendous honour of becoming Australia's first Fellow of ISGRG! Australian Research Council CGA@ANU

Postdocs - join us! Uni of Adelaide needs a Postdoctoral Researcher in instrumentation with Prof Peter Veitch, Prof David Ottaway and Dr Dan Brown, commissioning LIGO detectors and developing thermal compensation systems for next gen gravitational wave detectors #OzGrav #LIGO

Made it to Adelaide with some GW enthusiasts from Monash Astrophysics 🤩 Here for the first ever OzGrav ECR Winter School, lectures & workshops starting tomorrow! ✨

Had a stellar time hanging out + working with fellow ECRs at the OzGrav Winter School 😄 It was great to have the opportunity to run a workshop, but also learn about incredible instrumentation work done in Australia Looking forward to seeing you all at the annual retreat!

Across Aust its estimated weed control costs over $6billion pa. We need new/sustainable management options like LASERS! Here’s Peter Veitch & Zac testing a laser weedkill system An exciting collab between OzGrav Adelaide Waite Research Institute @austplantphenom Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology OzGrav

We had a great time at Australian Plant Phenomics Network trialling our laser on a few different weed species! The best part about lasers for weed control - they’re organic! Our work is an OzGrav initiative to translate my research of lasers for future gravitational wave detectors.

✴️FRICKIN' LASERs in action! In the quest for non-chemical weed control LASERs are a serious weed-zapping contender. This week, Zac Holmes & Peter Veitch did their 2nd LASER weeding test in the TPA Smarthouse as part of their Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology Roadmap grant Zac OzGrav

More fireworks this time around!

The beautiful glow of 790 nm in our fibre amplifiers. Lab lights are off and I see nothing with my own eyes. Thank you iPad!

On Friday, OzGrav spread the good word about Gravitational Waves and careers in Physics at the Department for Education SA’s Student Pathways expo. Hopefully we captured the imaginations of a few budding physicists!

How exciting! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Blood Moon Rising 🌑

Watch the transition into a full moon dance around the internal reflection of my iPhone camera. Double moon!

Join me and Zac to learn about the engineering labours of Star Wars’ lightsabers. Listen now on Spotify, Google Podcast, Podbean or iHeartRadio! podbean.com/eau/pb-hiap3-1… on #Podbean

Excellent #MissionGravity sessions today in Adelaide with the team from OzGrav Adelaide! Interactive #VR allows students to investigate stars and stellar remnants!

It's been a privilege to be part of the growth of this school engagement program with Dark Matter Centre and University of Melbourne. Here's to its continued growth! 🤓💫 abc.net.au/news/2023-03-2…

Zac (Zac) finished making the first of 3 2-micron-laser amplifers to deliver to CGA@ANU for exciting research in next gen GW detector squeezing and coating thermal noise. The beautiful pink glow is the 790nm pump light that's invisible to human eyes. #science #laser #gw
