At IAS, Amanda Weltman will be exploring the ways of constraining fundamental physics using multi-messenger astronomy. With the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy as well as the coming era of radio astronomy burgeoning, the timing is appropriate to consider how to use these observations as tools to constrain theories of gravity as well as our large-scale cosmological observables.
