Astro Lecture

Frederique Marion is a scientist at LAPP, a high-energy physics institute in Annecy (France).
For many years, she has been involved in gravitational wave detection, primarily through
the European experiment Virgo. She is also a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA
collaboration, which operates the worldwide network of detectors that have made
gravitational wave astronomy a reality over the past decade. The seminar will present the
exquisitely sensitive instruments that have been developed to detect those elusive ripples in
