Gravitational waves and the universe
Ambitious theoretical physicist Dr. Evan McDonough is trying to understand and uncover the gravitational waves produced in the first moments of the universe. To help in his quest, Dr. McDonough has been awarded the inaugural University of Winnipeg .
Gravitational waves were discovered in 2017 at the . As part of his research, Dr. McDonough will simulate the production of gravitational waves in the first moments of the universe. He will imprint this on telescope data using high performance computing and cutting-edge statistical methods applied to data gathered by telescopes around the world and in space.
