- Author contribution statement
- My contributions were both to the conceptualisation and design of the LIGO observatory instrumentation that detected the signals as well as verifying and validating aspects of the data confirming the first detection of gravitational waves as part of the small (15 people out of the ~1000 strong collaboration) Detection Committee of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration; in particular I carried out investigations verifying the treatment of transient noise used in the paper leading to validation of an appropriate calibration process for the LIGO observatory.
