- Daw and his group investigated 38 and 41Hz backgrounds to the first direct detection of gravitational waves. Their work addressed tensions between analysis groups on the post-merger waveform, over possible evidence for quasi-normal ringing, using the Sheffield IWAVE algorithm. Daw and Edo on the instrument builders list for the LIGO detectors. Daw developed many hardware and software components of LIGO - for example, the band limited RMS monitor software used daily in the control rooms, and the component of the DMT and FOTON tools used for design of infinite impulse response filters for the control systems.
