M. Ball is a contributor to large collaborative research within the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA gravitational-wave observatory network, which detects ripples in space-time produced by colliding black holes and neutron stars. This work involves searching for gravitational-wave signals, building catalogs of detected events, and cross-referencing findings with other astronomical observations like gamma-ray bursts and pulsar signals. The research relies on collaborative, large-team publications typical of major physics experiments.
