The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) is a collaboration by numerous physics institutes and research groups dedicated to the search for gravitational waves using the detectors LIGO and GEO 600.
He is principal investigator in charge of data analysis for the GEO600 collaboration (which, in turn, is part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the largest concerted effort to directly detect gravitational waves).
LIGO's Hanford Observatory, an interferometer searching for gravitational waves
The project intend to construct a dedicated optical follow-up instrument for Advanced LIGO (aLIGO)and Advanced Virgo (AdVirgo) in order to surveying the sky for even very dim afterglows of gravitational waves events.
Previous searches for gravitational waves in space were conducted for short periods by planetary missions that had other primary science objectives (such as Cassini–Huygens), using microwave Doppler tracking to monitor fluctuations in the Earth-spacecraft distance.
He contributed greatly to the understanding of gravitational waves from compact binary systems, and with Alessandra Buonanno, he invented the "effective one-body" approach to solving the orbital trajectories of binary black holes.
