R. J. E. Smith

I'm a senior scientist with 15 years of experience in gravitational wave astronomy. My work focuses on interpreting signals in noisy, uncertain time-series data. I have led major discoveries as part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, such as the first observation of neutron star-black hole binaries. I specialize in Bayesian inference, dimensionality reduction for machine learning, and high-performance computing. My goal is to accelerate the pace of scientific breakthroughs through innovative methods.
