Searches for gravitational waves with LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA from:

• Deformed, isolated neutron stars
• Sub-solar-mass ultra-compact binaries, e.g. primordial black holes
• Remnants of supernovae or binary-neutron-star mergers
• Mini-extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (mini-EMRIs)
• Boson clouds around rotating black holes

Primordial black holes

• Constraining the existence of asteroid-mass and planetary-mass primordial black holes with gravitational waves
• Developing methods to search for inspiraling sub-solar mass primordial black holes

Direct dark-matter detection with gravitational-wave interferometers

• Interaction of vector dark photon dark matter with baryons in LIGO mirrors
• Interaction of scalar, dilaton dark matter with electrons and photons in LIGO
• Impact of tensor dark matter on the interferometers

Machine learning

• Developing methods to detect long-lived gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars
• Developing techniques to generate, identify and mitigate glitches for glitches

Developing data analysis methods for future gravitational-wave detectors

• Looking for the long-lived inspirals of binary neutron stars
• Characterizing the impact of nonstationary noise on LISA/Taiji data analysis for white-dwarf binaries and other sources 

A good way to begin to understand these various topics is reading a review article. Please have a look at my review articles on gravitational-wave probes of particle dark matter, primordial black holes, and neutron stars
