Welcome to the Gravity Group of the Physics Department at UMass Dartmouth. This website is about different aspects of theoretical and computational gravitational physics, in particular: Our research on Black Holes, Quantum Cosmology and also Scientific Computation. All technical papers related to our research are available on the gr-qc list at the e-print archive. Here is an explicit list of a few selected articles. Research in this group is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), MA Space Grant Consortium (NASA), US Air Force Research (AFRL/AFOSR), private foundations (FQXi and others) and the computer industry (Apple, IBM, Sony, Nvidia and others). Interested students and general public should contact Professor Gaurav Khanna (gkhanna-at-umassd-dot-edu) for any queries or suggestions.
Check out our PS3 cluster for various research projects, that was made possible owing to a generous, partial donation from Sony. And here is its “big brother” built in a “reefer” container. Also check out the website of our new campus-wide Center for Scientific Computing & Visualization Research.
And here is Prof. Khanna’s talk on the GW150914 detection at our campus’ Interstellar event (2016) with Prof. Kip Thorne!
