UofG Institute for Gravitational Research

We are the Institute for Gravitational Research at @UofGlasgow, the
UK centre of gravity for #gravitationalwaves research!

Two members of our group have been turning their expertise from Gravitational Wave detection to cast new light on the workings of the oldest known analogue computer.

[UofG News @UofGNews]

New research from @UofGPhysAstro and @UofGravity adapts techniques used for analysing gravitational waves to cast new light on the Antikythera mechanism, the oldest known analogue computer.

[UofG News @UofGNews]

Researchers @UofGravity and @UofGPhysAstro are part of the international collaboration behind a recently-announced detection of a gravitational wave signal which casts new light on the diversity of cosmic objects.

Congratulations to our own Dr Christopher Messenger, who was declared the Best Advisor of Studies in the 2024 @glasgowunisrc Student Teaching Awards! Student Teaching Awards (https://t.co/JFbog3Jd3A)

[MCMP Glasgow @UofG_MCMP]

Excited to start our #MagTEM2 project to commission an electron microscope with ultimate spatial resolution for magnetic materials, and more! Funded by @EPSRC , @UKRI_News, the microscope will accessible to external users from 2026.

[UofGARC @UofGARC]

On 28 March, join us for our next #CinemARC event. For this family-friendly screening, we’ll be showing Lilo and Stitch.

Plus, there will be a talk about aliens from Dr Andrew Spencer from the Institute of Gravitational Research @UofGravity

It was very exciting to pioneer our new lesson-plans developed by @TactileUniverse today at Uddingston Grammar, and we're already making plans for the next one!

[Vision Support Service @UGS_VST]

Thank you to @UofGravity for visiting @UGS_VST to share their inclusive ideas on the concept of gravity with us. @UGS_Science taking part with Miss Marshall taking notes for physics lessons! @UGSchool has more budding scientist!

[UofG Institute for Gravitational Research @UofGravity]

Good news! We have extended the abstract deadline to 23 February.

[UofG Institute for Gravitational Research @UofGravity]

The abstract deadline for AIslands : Arran 2024 is this Friday!

https://t.co/ygvtP8UKhc

Known as "Scotland in miniature" Arran is an ideal setting for detailed discussion of AI in gravitational wave science.
