PI and student contributors:
Marc Favata
Assistant Professor of Physics
Montclair State University
Marc works on modeling gravitational waves from merging neutron stars and black holes. He also teaches physics and astronomy, and is the faculty advisor for Montclair's public telescope nights. Marc was an undergrad at Caltech and received his PhD from Cornell. He has held postdoctoral positions at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, the NASA/Caltech Jet Propulsion Lab, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Marc led the design and creation of this site as part of his NSF grants. You can read more about his work and interests on his personal website or his MSU site.

Goran Dojcinoski
former MSU undergrad and master's student
Goran received his bachelor's in physics and master's in mathematics at Montclair State. He wrote a master's thesis on the gravitational-wave memory effect. Goran worked on producing sounds from numerical relativity and post-Newtonian waveforms. He is currently a lecturer at Montclair State University and Bergen Community College.

Nicholas Drywa
former MSU undergrad
Nicholas received his BS in physics in 2015. He is now enrolled in the graduate program at Stevens Institute of Technology. Nick wrote a code to model sounds from eccentric extreme-mass-ratio inspiral orbits. He also worked on a separate project related to gravitational lensing by black holes. Nick won an award for most outstanding graduating physics major.

Blake Moore
former MSU undergrad
Blake was among our top students and won several awards for excellence in physics. Blake developed sound files from numerical relativity simulations and also for eccentric binaries. He completed a project to compute the orbital phasing for eccentric binaries to high post-Newtonian order. After graduating in 2016, entered graduate study on gravitational waves in the physics department at Montana State University.
