- GW150914, LVT151012 (GW151012) and GW151226 were the gravitational waves discovered during Advanced LIGO's first observing run. I led Section IV and Appendix B of the paper on inference of source parameters. As part of an international team, I analysed the signals to produce these results, and assess their sensitivity to various inputs. I was responsible for collating results and interpreting these with reference to both predictions for parameter-estimation accuracy and the current understanding of black hole astrophysics.
