The Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings has selected CRA graduate student, Deborah Ferguson, to participate in the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting taking place from 30 June to 05 July 2019 in Lindau, Germany.
Only the 600 most qualified young scientists can be given the opportunity to enrich and share the unique atmosphere of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
Congratulations, Deborah!
Deborah Ferguson, a third-year graduate student at CRA and School of Physics is selected in the final round of Three Minute Thesis Competition. She will be presenting her work on testing general relativity with binary black hole mergers.
The final round will be held in the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center on Nov. 7, 6-8 PM.
Research enabled by the new system will aid NSF-supported observatories such as the LIGO gravitational wave observatory, and the South Pole neutrino observatory known as IceCube.
Central to the award is the CRA Director and Associate Director of Institute for Data Engineering and Science, Prof. Deirdre Shoemaker (first from left in the photo).

IceCube reports compelling evidence for the observation of neutrinos from the blazar TXS 0506+056. Taboada’s group made significant contributions to this work. The video below shows Prof. Taboada’s interview on this subject.
This article at symmetry magazine presents a good summary of the results too!
Art work by CRA postdoc Karelle Siellez is featured in the article in Quanta for Breakfast on the merging two neutron stars.
