Titel: Gravitational Waves: from indirect detection to the Einstein Telescope

Abstract: 

Since the first experimental detection of gravitational waves in 2015, observations in this field have profoundly transformed our understanding of the Universe.

In this presentation, I will offer an overview of gravitational wave science, emphasising how this field naturally operates at the interface of multiple disciplines, ranging from signal processing to astrophysics to artificial intelligence and beyond. I will review the current status and prospects of detectors such as LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA and the Einstein Telescope, and discuss how their observations will enable deeper insights into black hole populations, neutron-star mergers, and the early history of the Universe.

Finally, I will address the increasingly central role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in gravitational-wave science, from managing massive data streams to improving signal detection and extracting physical parameters.
