Eyal Schwartz's research interests span from cosmic events to microscopic quantum physics phenomena. Eyal uses precision measurement techniques, such as optical interferometry, to explore different peculiar behaviors in nature. Eyal’s main interests today are the study of Gravitational Waves, which are immense ripples in space-time originating from black holes or neutron stars; Quantum optics – the study of photons and their interactions and applications, with a new variation relating to detection of dark matter; and Ultra-cold atoms as a tool to explore the fundamental relationship between the micro and macro worlds based at the heart of quantum mechanics. Eyal is the leading scientist for Trinity college's participation in the LIGO (Laser interferometer gravitational waves observatory) scientific collaboraion.

Eyal is passionate about teaching and assisting students to appreciate the beauty of nature.
From enthusiasm, encouragement and hard work come understanding and enjoyment.
