William Lamb

Graduate Student
Astrophysics

William, originally from Wales, joined Vanderbilt after completing his studies in Mathematics and Physics at the University of York. His research has resulted in the development of widely-used code and published papers focused on spectral refitting for the rapid estimation and characterization of PTA spectral parameters. Furthermore, he has authored papers on revising the gravitational-wave background assumptions when observing a finite population over a limited data stretch. This work establishes pathways to discriminate between an astrophysical background composed of binaries and a cosmological background generated by early-Universe processes.
