Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Veitch is a Senior Lecturer and gravitational-wave data scientist with 17 years of experience combining Bayesian inference, large-scale computing, and astrophysical interpretation. Based at the University of Glasgow’s Institute for Gravitational Research, he leads analysis of detector data from discovery to astrophysical results and has been a co-chair in LIGO–Virgo compact binary efforts, including work on GW150914. His expertise spans developing novel nested-sampling inference algorithms, cluster-scale computation, and rigorous tests of General Relativity using compact-binary signals. He brings deep academic credentials (PhD in Astrophysics) and a track record of translating complex statistical methods into operational pipelines for live detector data. Notably, he blends hands-on algorithm development with collaborative leadership across international detector collaborations.
