* Title of Talk: **“Welcome to the Era of Gravitational Wave Astronomy!”*

*_Abstract:_*

Recent direct detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole 
mergers opened a completely new type of astronomy. Very recently, 
gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers were detected, 
followed up by roughly 70 electromagnetic telescopes. Such 
multimessenger astronomy already brought us very important and new 
implications in various aspects of physics. In this talk I will give an 
overview of the current status of this new gravitational wave astronomy 
and what we have learnt so far in terms of astrophysics, nuclear 
physics, gravitational physics and cosmology. I will then explain what 
we expect to find in future in terms of fundamental physics with the 
up-coming multimessenger astronomy.

/Cookies & Coffee will be served in Small 122 at 3:30pm/
