This course aims to explore the precision modeling of gravitational-wave signals for interpreting gravitational-wave events and searching for new physics embedded in these signals. The course covers topics such as classical relativity, effective field theory, and scattering amplitudes. Participants will discuss the needs of future gravitational-wave experiments, identify theoretical challenges, highlight recent advances in gravitational wave modeling, and explore tools and techniques from classical and quantum field theory. The intended audience includes experts from the fields of classical relativity, effective field theory, and scattering amplitudes.
