Research Summary
Prof. Evans’ research is focused on improving the current generation of gravitational-wave detectors, while paving the way for next generation observatories. His lab-scale research projects are aimed at developing low thermal noise coatings, and enhancing control of the quantum-optical state of gravitational-wave interferometers (e.g., through the use of frequency dependent squeezing).
