Description
We are living in a remarkable era for gravitational-wave astronomy. With an ever-growing catalog of compact binary mergers observed by ground-based detectors, we can now test General Relativity in the strong-field, highly dynamical regime with unprecedented precision.
In this talk, I will review the current status of tests of General Relativity with ground-based gravitational-wave observatories, ten years after the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy. I will focus primarily on inspiral and black-hole ringdown tests, highlighting several results obtained over the past year, some of which I actively contributed to during my PhD.
