 **Title: Black Hole Mergers in Dense Stellar Systems**

 **Abstract:**

 I will present recent results on how binary black holes (BBHs)  
merge in dense stellar systems through chaotic few-body interactions.  
From taking into account GR effects in the equation-of-motion, I will show that dense stellar systems are likely to produce non-circular (eccentric) mergers in both LISA and LIGO with rates that are 10-100 times larger than all major groups recently have reported. This makes eccentricity a promising parameter for distinguishing BBH merger channels from each other.
