Brigitte Kaune

Dr. Brigitte Kaune is a Researcher in the Department of Laser Interferometry and Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Hannover, Germany, focusing on advanced interferometric techniques for gravitational wave detection and fundamental physics experiments.

Her core research encompasses:

• Gravitational Wave Astronomy
• Laser Interferometry systems for terrestrial and space applications
• Precision measurement of fundamental interactions
• Quantum control methodologies in interferometric setups
• Space-based interferometry projects
• Advanced optical technologies for metrology

Dr. Kaune actively contributes to major collaborative initiatives including PhoenixD (Photonics, Optics, and Engineering Innovation Center) and QuantumFrontiers (Research Cluster for Quantum Engineering), developing next-generation quantum sensors and interferometers. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with experimental implementations for both Earth-based observatories like LIGO/Virgo and future space missions.
