Eanna Flanagan

Eanna Flanagan is the Edward L. Nichols Professor of Physics and Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University's Department of Physics. His research focuses on general relativity, cosmology, and gravitational wave astronomy, with an emphasis on strong gravitational fields and their implications for astrophysical phenomena. His work includes studies on black holes, neutron stars, and the early Universe, as well as theoretical models involving extra dimensions and dark energy. Flanagan's academic career includes positions at the University of Chicago and Cornell, where he has contributed to both research and education in physics and astronomy.

Eanna Flanagan is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Cornell University, specializing in Gravitation, Cosmology, and Theoretical Astrophysics. His research focuses on gravitational waves, binary compact objects, and the theoretical foundations of gravity. He has contributed extensively to the analysis of gravitational wave signals from binary black hole and neutron star mergers, including signal extraction, parameter estimation, and detector performance. His work also explores modified gravity theories, dark energy, and cosmological models, such as the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario. Flanagan's research bridges observational and theoretical aspects of gravitational wave astronomy, with a strong emphasis on the implications of general relativity and its extensions.
