My desk

Welcome

Hello, I'm Christopher Berry, and I am a current PhD student at the Institute of Astronomy, one of the departments of the University of Cambridge. I am a theoretical physicist, and spend most of my time studying gravity. I am part of the Institute of Astronomy's Gravity Group. My supervisor Jonathan Gair and I are particularly interested in what we can learn from gravitational waves. To find out a little more, have a look at my research page.

I did my undergraduate study here in Cambridge, at Churchill College. I am still involved in college life, and supervise Churchill undergrads.

More information can be found at my department homepage. If you have more questions, please get in touch; if you have a more general question about astrophysics, you may like to submit a question to Ask an Astronomer, to which I contribute the odd answer.

Together with others in the Gravity Group, I have designed a webpage for producing cartoon gravitational wave sensitivity curves, which may be useful if you want a good-looking plot showing the spectrum of gravitational wave detectors and sources.
