Conor Mow-Lowry

Conor Mow-Lowry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Astrophysical and Particles Physics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on gravitational wave astrophysics, with contributions to the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, and KAGRA Collaboration. He specializes in detector physics, transient phenomena, and multi-messenger astronomy.

His work has advanced gravitational wave detection techniques, including angular control noise reduction in advanced interferometers and searches for neutron star and black hole signals. He has published over 99 peer-reviewed articles in journals like the Astrophysical Journal and Physical Review D.

Research interests span gravitational wave sources (supernovae, pulsars, dark matter), detector optimization, and cosmological implications of gravitational waves. Collaborations include international teams analyzing data from multiple observatories.
