Gravitational waves will be an important probe of physics beyond the Standard Model, as they would be produced at possible first order phase transitions in the early universe. I will discuss the characteristic spectrum of gravitational radiation from phase transitions, how it is connected to underlying physics, and prospects for observing measuring thermodynamic parameters at the future space-based gravitational wave detector LISA.
