About the Lab
Professor Chang-Woong Woo's research lab specializes in gravitational wave astrophysics, focusing on the detection and characterization of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from advanced interferometric detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. The lab develops innovative data analysis techniques, including gravitational-wave radiometry and spherical harmonic decomposition, to map diffuse and directional gravitational-wave signals across the sky. Their work emphasizes the search for both isotropic and anisotropic backgrounds, as well as emissions from spatially extended and point-like sources, advancing our understanding of cosmic phenomena such as early-universe processes and compact object populations. The lab also pioneers efficient computational pipelines like pystoch to enhance sensitivity and scalability in large-scale gravitational-wave searches.

Selected Papers
1We report results from searches for anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. For the first time, we include Virgo data in our analysis and run our search with a new efficient pipeline called pystoch on data folded over one sidereal day. We use gravitational-wave radiometry (broadband and narrow band) to produce sky maps of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and to search for grav
