Exploring fundamental physics and astrophysics with gravitational-wave sources

In this thesis, I investigate the new physics that can be learnt by the current and future gravitational wave (GW) observations. With the current observations, I study how multiple binary black hole (BBH) spin measurements can be combined by hierarchical Bayesian framework to search for ultralight b...
