Authors:
- Nominated by the University of Birmingham UK as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis
- Opens new research avenues in the use of Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) to study populations of super-massive black hole binaries through gravitational-wave observations
- Pioneers a technique to probe the level of anisotropy of the diffuse gravitational-wave background radiation from the whole population of super-massive black hole binaries in the Universe
