DESCRIPTION:Gravitational-wave observations can be used to test the Kerr n
 ature of black holes through "gravitational spectroscopy\," i.e. the measu
 rement of multiple quasinormal mode frequencies from the remnant of a bina
 ry black hole merger. They can also be used to reveal (or rule out) the ex
 istence of light bosons\, that could be a component of dark matter and pro
 duce detectable signals through superradiant instabilities. I will discuss
  the prospects for black hole spectroscopy and dark matter searches with g
 ravitational wave interferometers on Earth and in space.
