Eric Thrane
- Professor, Chief Investigator
- Monash University
I am a Professor at Monash University in the School of Physics and Astronomy where I study cosmology, astrophysics, and gravity. I specialise in astrophysical inference using data from gravitational-wave observatories to answer questions such as: how do compact binaries form, what is the fate of massive stars, what is the nature of matter at the highest possible densities? I also use data from traditional electromagnetic telescopes to study extreme astrophysical objects such as supermassive black holes and gamma-ray bursts. I was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship and I am the Data Theme Leader for OzGrav: the ARC Centre for Gravitational-wave Discovery. I am the OzGrav Node Leader for Monash University. I have been a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since 2008.
