The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on September 15, 2021 to support research titled "EAGER: ADAPT: UNDERSTANDING NONLINEAR NOISE IN LIGO: A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH" through August 31, 2023. The award is being administered under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Through this funding, university researchers will apply machine learning techniques to better understand sources of nonlinear noise in the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, with the goal of enhancing detection of gravitational waves. Findings could yield insights to refine LIGO instrumentation and maximize discovery potential.
