DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Rafael Aoude (DESY)\n\nAbstract:In recent years\, qu
 antum field theory (QFT)-inspired descriptions of the two-body problem in 
 gravity have advanced the state of the art in gravitational-wave physics c
 omputation. In this talk\, I will revisit some of the fundamentals of the 
 on-shell scattering amplitude programme for binary black holes\, with a pa
 rticular focus on spinning effects. I will describe black hole scattering 
 amplitudes using the Post-Minkowskian expansion within a heavy-particle ef
 fective field theory. Finally\, I will demonstrate how to incorporate non-
 conservative effects\, such as absorption\, using a QFT description.Speake
 r Bio:Dr. Rafael Aoude obtained his PhD at the University of Mainz\, worki
 ng on EFTs for colliders and scattering amplitudes. He then moved to Belgi
 um for a postdoctoral position at UCLouvain\, followed by another postdoc 
 at the University of Edinburgh. Currently\, he is a Junior Staff at DESY\,
  working on EFTs\, collider phenomenology\, and gravitational waves.Altern
