    DescriptionThe investigation carried out in this Honours project aimed to characterise reduction of the thermal noise observed in mirror coatings at the range of frequencies where GWDs are more sensitive. To this end, this project has been developed at the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors & Imaging (University of the West of Scotland) led by Prof.Des Gibson, and supervised by Dr. Carlos Garcia Nuñez from UWS in collaboration with Dr.Martin at the Institute for Gravitational Research (University of Glasgow), Prof.Reid (University of Strathclyde) and Prof.Jin Long (University of Tong Ji, Shanghai, China).
