Binary black hole mergers probe the strong field, non-linear, highly dynamical regime of gravity, and thus gravitational waves from these systems could contain beyond-GR signatures. While LIGO presently performs model-independent and parametrized tests of GR, in order to perform model-dependent tests, we must have access to numerical relativity binary black hole waveform predictions in beyond-GR theories through full inspiral, merger, and ringdown. In this talk, I will discuss our results in producing full numerical relativity waveforms in beyond-GR theories, including dynamical Chern-Simons gravity and Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet gravity.</i></span></div><div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div></span></div></div><div>Zoom link: <a href="https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/81283707469?pwd=SzkyMk5jRm0xcEN3WE5MYVh1RVFtQT09" target="_blank">https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/81283707469?pwd=SzkyMk5jRm0xcEN3WE5MYVh1RVFtQT09</a><br>ID meeting: 812 8370 7469<br>Passcode: 915450<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Paolo</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Paolo Pani <br>Associate Professor<br>ERC StG Fellow, DarkGRA project<br>Junior Fellow, Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati Sapienza<br><br>Physics Department (Marconi Building), 3rd floor, room 334<br>Sapienza University of Rome<br>Piazzale Aldo Moro 5 - 00185 Rome (Italy) <br>+39 06 4991 4472 (int 24472)</div></div></div>
