Gravitational Wave Astronomy and Physics with Strong Lensing of Binary Mergers
Srashti Goyal (LIGO and International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, Bengaluru)

Gravitational lensing has been one of the main tests of Einstein's theory of relativity. Like light, gravitational waves can also get lensed and we might be able to detect this with the current ground based gravitational waves observatories. I will talk about the various prospects for the search of gravitational waves lensing signatures. Further, I will mention two of my research works, 1. polarisation tests of general relativity using strongly lensed signals and 2. identifying strongly lensed signals using machine learning.
