Testing GR with gravitational waves: current status and future prospects — •Collin Capano — Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut), Callinstraße 38, Hannover, Germany

The direct detection of gravitational waves from merging compact objects has opened up several new avenues for testing general relativity. I will discuss current results from these tests, as well as future prospects and challenges. In particular, I will touch on the possibility of testing the no-hair theorem using binary black hole mergers in the coming decade.
