| Your personal background. | |
| I am currently a postdoc at Rice University in the Ultracold Atoms lab of Randy Hulet working with BECs of Lithium. From 2005 to 2008 I was a postdoc at the University of Washington working in the Eot-Wash group on LISA. I received my doctoral degree in physics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. My interests are in gravitational astrophysics and precision measurement. These two fields are conveniently coupled together in gravitational wave (GW) physics, in particular the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), and future space-based GW detectors.

| Although we all hope that the ground-based detectors will observe a gravitational wave in the next decade, I believe it is unlikely that this will occur. Contrary to ground-based detectors, space-based detectors with large arm lengths, such as LISA (http://lisa.nasa.gov), will have thousands of sources comprised of several known verification sources. If space-based detectors do not observe gravitational radiation then our current understanding of gravity is incorrect. | |
