Lilli Sun

Lilli Sun is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics within the Research School of Physics at the Australian National University. Her office is located in Physics North 1 76D, and she maintains an active research profile through her professional webpage at https://www.lingsun.org/.

Dr. Sun's research focuses on gravitational wave astronomy, with expertise in data analysis techniques for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. Her primary interests include the detection and analysis of gravitational waves from compact binary systems, neutron stars, and black holes. She has made significant contributions to major gravitational wave catalogs and multi-messenger astronomy efforts.

Her publication record demonstrates expertise in advanced data analysis methods including hidden Markov models, cross-correlation techniques, and statistical inference approaches applied to gravitational wave data. Dr. Sun has been instrumental in numerous discoveries including binary black hole mergers, neutron star-black hole coalescences, and cosmological measurements using gravitational waves as 'standard sirens'.

As an active member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Dr. Sun contributes to multiple working groups focused on data analysis, detector characterization, and astrophysical interpretation of gravitational wave signals. Her work bridges theoretical astrophysics with practical data analysis challenges in one of the most exciting fields of modern physics.
