| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We upgraded and improved the efficiency of the GstLAL gravitational-wave detection system and applied it to the analysis of data from LIGO and Virgo detectors in O3 and O4. This work contributed to over 90 peer reviewed publications in the field of observational gravitational-wave astronomy. We also investigated the capabilities of future gravitational-wave detectors with respect to experiments in fundamental and nuclear physics.
