 Student Ashley Disbrow presents her work at the 2014 American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington, DC.  Student Emma Wadley created the installation art, titled Void (2016), shown above. Her artist statement includes this description: "I have used black paper to represent fear through the colour associated with death, shadows and the deepest nights ... The addition of light creates an eerie iridescence and the soundscape aims to unnerve and intrigue through otherworldly noise of Gravitational waves and the Mariana Trench." 2018Pioneer Academics student projectsProjects mentored by Eric MyersFinal papers: Jinghi Zhang | Yue Pan 1-OGC: The first open gravitational-wave catalog of binary mergers from analysis of public Advanced LIGO dataAlexander H.
