The Gravitational Physics group at the University of Vienna studies gravitation as described by Einstein’s field equations on all scales ranging from gravitational waves to cosmology.
We use mathematical tools from the fields of Differential Geometry and Partial Differential Equations as well as numerical approaches to understand the dynamical behaviour of spacetime.
