This project aims to contribute to one of the most significant breakthroughs in science - the direct detection of gravitational waves. It will develop innovative techniques to detect and localise gravitational waves in the nanohertz frequency band from radio timing data of millisecond pulsars. The technique developed by this project will help maximise the scientific output of Australia's legendary Parkes Radio Telescope, and boost the opportunities of the first detections of gravitational waves using the upcoming radio telescopes, Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) and Square Kilometre Array (SKA).

该项目旨在为科学上最重大的突破之一——直接探测引力波做出贡献。它将开发创新技术，从毫秒脉冲星的无线电定时数据中探测和定位纳赫兹频段的引力波。该项目开发的技术将有助于最大限度地提高澳大利亚传奇的帕克斯射电望远镜的科学产出，并增加使用即将到来的射电望远镜，500米口径球面望远镜（FAST）和平方公里阵列（SKA）首次探测引力波的机会。
