Chris Messenger is a Senior Lecturer in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. His research focuses on gravitational wave detection and parameter estimation. He utilizes gravitational wave observations to infer cosmological parameters and investigate the neutron star equation of state. Additionally, he employs a combination of Bayesian statistics and machine learning techniques to analyze gravitational waves. He is an active contributor to the global LIGO-Virgo-Kagra Collaboration and also explores the applications of quantum computation in astrophysical problems, including machine learning approaches to gravity inversion.
