Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • General relativity
  • Astronomy

Lee Samuel Finn mainly investigates Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, LIGO, Astronomy and Gravitational-wave observatory. Lee Samuel Finn has researched Gravitational wave in several fields, including Milky Way, Observatory and Optics. Astrophysics is represented through his Neutron star, Pulsar, Binary pulsar, Black hole and Binary black hole research.

His LIGO study incorporates themes from Amplitude, Astronomical interferometer, Interferometry and Binary star. His work in the fields of Astronomy, such as Gravitation and Sky, intersects with other areas such as Orbit and Coincident. His study focuses on the intersection of Primordial black hole and fields such as Redshift with connections in the field of Gravitational wave background.

His most cited work include:

  • Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger (7103 citations)
  • Predictions for the Rates of Compact Binary Coalescences Observable by Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors (863 citations)
  • Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run (812 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, LIGO, Astronomy and Gravitational-wave observatory. Lee Samuel Finn mostly deals with LIGO Scientific Collaboration in his studies of Gravitational wave. His Astrophysics study is mostly concerned with Pulsar, Gamma-ray burst, Black hole, Binary pulsar and Binary black hole.

Lee Samuel Finn has included themes like Supermassive black hole and Noise in his Pulsar study. His LIGO research includes themes of Gravitation, Astronomical interferometer, Frequency band and Waveform. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gravitational redshift and Einstein Telescope in addition to Gravitational-wave observatory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gravitational wave (80.22%)
  • Astrophysics (66.55%)
  • LIGO (49.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2017)?

  • Gravitational wave (80.22%)
  • Astrophysics (66.55%)
  • LIGO (49.64%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Lee Samuel Finn mostly deals with Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, LIGO, Astronomy and LIGO Scientific Collaboration. His Gravitational wave research integrates issues from Millisecond pulsar, Pulsar, Detector, Observatory and Universe. His work in the fields of Neutron star, Gravitational-wave observatory and Gamma-ray burst overlaps with other areas such as Sensitivity.

His research integrates issues of Mass ratio, Binary black hole, Intermediate-mass black hole and Angular momentum in his study of LIGO. In his research on the topic of LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Accretion and Supernova is strongly related with Gravitational collapse. His study in Redshift is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gravastar, Primordial black hole, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Black hole and Kilonova.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger (7103 citations)
  • Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run (812 citations)
  • Enhanced sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light (570 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • General relativity
  • Astronomy

Lee Samuel Finn focuses on Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, LIGO, LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Gravitational-wave observatory. His Gravitational wave study is concerned with the larger field of Astronomy. He studies Astrophysics, namely Binary black hole.

His work deals with themes such as Redshift, Gravastar and Kilonova, which intersect with Binary black hole. His LIGO Scientific Collaboration research incorporates themes from Large Hadron Collider and Particle physics. When carried out as part of a general Gravitational-wave observatory research project, his work on Gravitational-wave astronomy is frequently linked to work in Squeezed coherent state and Quantum metrology, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
