Biographical Sketch

Sarah Vigeland’s research is focused on the detection of low-frequency gravitational waves using pulsar timing arrays. These gravitational waves primarily come from supermassive binary black holes, and their growth and evolution are connected to the growth and evolution of their host galaxies.
