- This presents the final results from the ESA LISA Pathfinder mission, which demonstrated inertial purity of the free-falling test masses inside the spacecraft at a level that surpasses the performance required for the full LISA mission. I led the decade-long development of the picometre sensitive laser interferometer that read out the motion of the free-falling test masses. I secured the funding for the development, I designed, developed and tested key aspects of the interferometer hardware and associated integration equipment, I participated in the in-orbit experimental investigations and I contributed to the draft of the paper.
