Laurence Datrier

Hello, and welcome!

I’m a recent PhD graduate from the University of Glasgow. I have worked on multi-messenger astronomy with kilonovae, gravitational wave cosmology and detector calibration as part of the LIGO collaboration.

I am an incoming postdoctoral researcher at California State University Fullerton, where I will be working on Cosmic Explorer.

When I’m not doing research, I enjoy getting involved in various outreach activities! I started getting involved in astronomy outreach during my undergraduate degree, and haven’t stopped since. I have since been involved in and organised many events from talks and festivals to observing evenings, and worked with a variety of audiences.

I’m also a hobby artist and have made a lot of art inspired by my work, some of which you can find on this website.
