Stephen Taylor appointed to NASA’s Laser Interferometer Space Antenna mission
Taylor is one of only six scientists nationwide appointed to the LISA team, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA. LISA is a space-based gravitational wave detector constructed of three spacecraft separated by millions of miles in a triangle shape as big as the sun.
“My role involves planning for how LISA will take the laser data from the satellites and perform what we call a ‘global fit’ on all of the signals from a huge number of potential sources,”
