Description
Extreme-Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) are a key source for the future space-based gravitational wave detector, LISA. In this talk, I will give a review of EMRIs and the self-force method, the leading technique in EMRI-waveform modelling. In particular, I will give a current status update, outline key challenges and exciting new prospects.
