Welcome to my webpage! I’m Anna Liu (刘安娜), but you can call me Ania, the Polish familiar form of my name. I am half-Polish half-Chinese, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Gravitational-Wave Physics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). I am a member of the Gravitational-Wave Group at CUHK, and a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.

Education:

  • PhD Physics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2021-present
  • MSc Astronomy & Astrophysics, KU Leuven, Belgium, 2021
  • BA (Hons) Physics, University of Oxford, UK, 2018

Research Interest:

  • Gravitational waves from binary black holes: data analysis and phenomenology
  • Gravitational-wave lensing
  • Probing General Relativity with black-hole ringdown

Languages:

Polish (native), Mandarin Chinese (native), English (fluent), German (conversational), Dutch (conversational), Russian (conversational)
