The Bartos Group’s research focuses on multi-messenger astrophysics: the exploration of the Universe through combining information from a multitude of cosmic messengers, including gravitational waves, electromagnetic radiation, neutrinos, and atomic nuclei. Each of these cosmic messengers is produced by distinct processes at its origin, and thus carries information about different mechanisms within its source. The messengers also differ widely in how they carry this information to the astronomer: for example, gravitational waves and neutrinos can pass through matter and intergalactic magnetic fields, providing an unobstructed view of the Universe at all wavelengths. Combining observations of different messengers will therefore let us see more and look further. Of particular interest are extreme cosmic events related to the formation and evolution of black holes and neutron stars.

The Bartos Group is involved with research using the LIGO gravitational-wave observatory, the future LISA gravitational-wave satellite, the IceCube neutrino observatory, the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array radio observatory, the Fermi and Neil Gehrels Swift gamma-ray burst satellites, and others.

Associate Professor of Physics
Institute for High Energy Physics and Astrophysics (IHEPA)

Dr. Imre Bartos received his PhD from Columbia University, where he subsequently remained as a lecturer and then research scientist before joining the faculty at the University of Florida. Dr. Bartos is a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the LISA Consortium, and is an associate member of the IceCube Collaboration. He also serves as an associate member of the Commission of Astroparticle Physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics.

Dr. Bartos has been awarded the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, and the Excellence Award from the University of Florida. He was part of a Grand Challenges Explorations Team supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He was the recipient of the Allan M. Sachs Teaching Award at Columbia. With the LIGO Collaboration he was the co-recipient, among others, of the Breakthrough Prize, Gruber Prize, Einstein Medal, and the Bruno Rossi Prize.
