Biography

Eanna Flanagan is a professor in the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University, focusing on general relativity, gravitational wave astronomy, and theoretical astrophysics. His research group develops quantitative models for processes involving neutron stars, black holes, and the early Universe. He has contributed significantly to the study of gravitational waves, particularly in enhancing data interpretation for detectors like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Flanagan’s interests include exploring models of the early Universe with extra dimensions and investigating modifications to general relativity to explain the recent acceleration of the Universe. He has been recognized for his work with awards such as the Xanthopoulos Prize in Gravitation and his fellowship with the American Physical Society and the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation. His professional experiences include postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago, as well as various faculty roles at Cornell University, leading to his current position as a full professor.
