SUMMARY:SCISOC TALK - Black holes and revelations - Dr Christopher Berry\,
  Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Co-author of recent gravitational waves

DESCRIPTION:The first observation of gravitational waves in September 2015
  was a huge achievement for science. Their discovery supported Einstein’
 s theory of General Relativity and has opened a new window to studying the
  cosmos. Using gravitational waves\, we can study objects like black holes
  and gain insights into some of the most violent processes in the Universe
 . Dr Christopher Berry is a co-author on the paper announcing the first re
 cording of gravitational waves\, and will tell the story of their observat
 ion last year. He will discuss the discoveries we have made so far using g
 ravitational-wave astronomy and what we can look forward to in the future.
 \n\nDr Christopher Berry is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Universi
 ty of Birmingham. He is a theoretical astrophysicist primarily interested 
 in gravity: how gravitational interactions can teach us about astrophysica
 l systems\, and how gravitational waves can improve our understanding of c
 ompact objects such as black holes that are difficult to observe by other 
 means.\n
