The Relativity Group (https://maths.ucd.ie/relativity/) at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University College Dublin invites applications for a four-year PhD position commencing in September 2022 under the supervision of Dr. Christiana Pantelidou.
The proposed research is aimed at mathematically and computationally exploring General Relativity and black holes, in order to improve our understanding of how the Universe works. Particular emphasis will be placed on the phenomenon of gravitational turbulence, and its potential observational implications through gravitational waves.
The Relativity Group is a vibrant and active community with 15 members (6 faculty and 9 PhD students), is strongly involved in gravitational wave source modelling and are members of the LISA Consortium. They are also actively involved in the development of the Einstein Toolkit and BHPToolkit.
