Abstract

In this broad-audience talk, I will discuss the basics of gravitational wave theory and the major achievements in the field following the direct observation of the first gravitational wave signal in 2015. Then, I will discuss how gravitational wave data are used to test the validity of general relativity and motivate my current research on the subject.
