- The paper reports the first coincident detection of a Gravitational Wave with the two LIGO detectors and the Virgo detector, demonstrating the significantly improved sky localisation of a Gravitational Wave source by a global detector network. Freise made significant contributions to the remarkable sensitivity of these detectors that enabled this observation. As well as being system manager for ‘Optical Simulation and Design’ of the Advanced Virgo project, he played major roles in developing the readout scheme for the gravitational-wave channel and the mitigation of higher-order mode effects in Advanced LIGO.
