- Lundgren invented and developed the 'gating' method for removing loud detector artefacts. This method was used to remove the loud artefact contaminating the Livingston signal, leading to the production of the skymap which led to detection of the optical counterpart. During the period of the detection and the subsequent publication, he was co-chair of the detector characterization group responsible for certifying the data quality around each detection, for maintaining the overall sensitivity of the detectors, and he also served on the six person rapid response team which assessed LIGO data quality within about an hour of each low latency trigger.
