SUMMARY:Inferring new properties of matter with future gravitational-w
 ave observations\, Network in Neutrinos\, Nuclear Astrophysics\, and S
 ymmetries (N3AS) Seminar\, Prof. Jocelyn Read \, California State Univ
 ersity\, Fullerton
DESCRIPTION:As the sensitivity of gravitational-wave detector networks
  increases\, high-fidelity signal recovery from the most prominent eve
 nts becomes possible. The strongest signals present both opportunities
  and challenges for inferring the properties of their sources. Focusin
 g on the problem of inferring neutron star equations of state in neutr
 on star mergers\, I will discuss how systematic errors from waveform m
 odeling have the potential to dominate the inference of matter propert
 ies in future observations. If it is properly addressed\, however\, su
 bdominant effects added to the waveform model may then be revealed\, p
 roviding novel opportunities to learn about neutron star matter beyond
  the equation of state. I will outline a data-driven approach to inter
 preting gravitational-wave observations with phenomenological signal c
 orrections\, including some first results from my group at CSUF. I'll 
 also discuss methods of connecting measured waveform corrections to th
 e energetics of the source system. Finally\, I will relate these uncer
 tainty quantification methods to goals for interferometer commissionin
 g and instrumental design\, demonstrating how next-generation sensitiv
 ities will translate into improved scientific potential.<br>\n <br>\nN
