Team

We are part of the Theoretisch-Physikalisches Institut at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena. Follow here seminars and events at our institute.

We are members of the Einstein Telescope collaboration and lead Jena's research unit. We are members of Virgo and of the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra scientific collaboration. We are also members of the ENGRAVE collaboration that searches electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources using ESO's telescopes.

We are part of the computational relativity (CoRe) collaboration at Jena and elsewhere, that supports the emerging fields of gravitational-wave and multi-messenger astronomy by performing 3+1 numerical relativity simulations of compact binaries spacetimes.

Visiting students

N.Amir (HEC IRSIP fellow, Quaid-i-Azam U), T.Tariq (MSc, Hannover U).

Are you interested in visiting us? Summer semesters are good times to attend the special courses on numerical relativity, gravitational waves and computational fluid dynamics, and also to fully enjoy Jena. Support may be available via the Erasmus+ programme and Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) of COST actions. Please contact SB.
