Jiayi Qin

Dr Jiayi Qin is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian National University, affiliated with the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics and the Quantum optics group. Her research focuses on optical physics, including optomechanics, optical manipulation and metrology, quantum optics and quantum optomechanics, signal processing and controls implementation, gravitational research, and fundamental theory testing. She completed her undergraduate degree in Physics from Nanjing University in 2011 and earned her PhD from the University of Western Australia in 2016. Qin worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National University from 2016 to 2021, contributing to an ARC Laureate Fellowship project on precision laser levitation for quantum metrology and gravitational sensing. Since 2022, she has been involved in developing optical instrumentation for precision interferometry, supporting gravitational-wave detection initiatives such as LIGO, space-based missions, and third-generation detectors like NEMO.

Jiayi Qin is a researcher at the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics, The Australian National University, specializing in Quantum Optomechanics, Quantum Optics, and Gravitational Wave physics. Their work focuses on the detection and analysis of gravitational waves, particularly from binary black hole mergers. Qin's research contributes to the understanding of gravitational wave signals, their astrophysical implications, and the development of advanced detectors. They have published extensively on topics such as the observation of gravitational waves from binary black hole coalescences, waveform model systematics, and the stochastic gravitational-wave background. Their studies also explore the localization of gravitational-wave transients and the implications of these events for general relativity.
