Abstract:

Advanced gravitational wave detectors will begin to operate later this year, coinciding with the centenary of General Theory of Relativity. In my talk I will discuss opportunities provided by gravitational wave observations in probing fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology and the challenges that must be overcome in achieving those goals.
