The Research Teams


		Geometric Analysis and Gravitation
		Director: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Huisken The division "Geometric Analysis and Gravitation" is concerned with the role of mathematics in the description of gravitation. Mathematical concepts of central importance in this context are geometric evolution equations ... [more]


		Astrophysical Relativity
		Director: Professor Bernard F. Schutz The main work of this division is on gravitational waves (both data analysis and theoretical modelling of sources) and numerical solutions of Einstein's equations. [more]


		Quantum Gravity & Unified Theories
		Director: Prof. Dr. Hermann Nicolai This division is concerned with the unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics into a theory of quantum gravity, which also provides a consistent framework for incorporating the other fundamental forces in ... [more]


		Laser Interferometry & Gravitational Wave Astronomy
		Director: Prof. Dr. Karsten Danzmann The final goal of all activities of this Division is the detection of gravitational waves and the development of gravitational wave astronomy. [more]


		Observational Relativity and Cosmology
		Director: Prof. Dr. Bruce Allen Research in the division of Observational Relativity and Cosmology is focused on the direct observational consequences of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, particulary as it relates to astrophysics and cosmology. [more]


		Max Planck Research Group Canonical and Covariant Dynamics of Quantum Gravity
		Group Leader: Dr. Bianca Dittrich This Max Planck Research Group is funded by the Max Planck Society. Its research focuses on the construction and examination of quantum gravity models. Its aim is to obtain a satisfactory description of the dynamics of ... [more]


		Independent Research Group Microscopic Quantum Structure & Dynamics of Spacetime
		Group Leader: Dr. Daniele Oriti This Independent Research Group is funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, through a Sofja Kovalevskaja Prize. The research of the group aims at constructing a complete theory of quantum gravity... [more]


		String Cosmology
		Group Leader: Jean-Luc Lehners The aim of the String Cosmology research group is to enhance our understanding of the very early universe and its most mysterious aspect, the big bang. It seems likely that a great many features of our universe were determined ... [more]
