The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) is delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Nobel prize in Physics for the leadership roles they played in the discovery of gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO detector.

The three winners are Rainer Weiss, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish, both of whom are from the California Institute of Technology.  OzGrav is very fortunate to have Barry Barish serve on our Scientific Advisory Committee. 

Australia’s Minister for Education and Training, Simon Birmingham, also congratulated the 2017 Nobel Prize winners. “OzGrav is helping Australia stay at the cutting edge of this new and rapidly advancing field,” said Senator Birmingham. “It will capitalise on the first detections of gravitational waves, to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped space-time.”
