Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | A new method for constraining gravitational waves from the early Universe and updated/improved constraints using existing methods. Gravitational waves are an important probe of the early Universe and offer the potential of revelatory understanding of the Universe. |
| Exploitation Route | Reproduction of the approach for upcoming data sets will offer tighter constraints. There are also certain areas where the approach could be improved or be more generally applicable (e.g. including perturbations calculated via backreaction). These are detailed in my publication and thesis. The Hubble constant problem was also discussed in my thesis and a model-independent approach to modification of the background expansion was detailed. This will be useful with further data. |
