Lisa Barsotti
Lisa Barsotti (* 1977 or 1978 in Collesalvetti near Livorno ) is an Italian physicist who works with gravitational wave detectors . She is part of the LIGO collaboration and is a Principal Researcher at the MIT- Kavli Institute.
Lisa Barsotti received her PhD in applied physics from the University of Pisa in 2006 . She then worked at the INFN (Istituto nazionale di fisica nucleare) in Pisa and Virgo detector.
You made fundamental advances in the field of quantum measurements, especially in gravitational wave detectors. She developed detectors for Advanced Ligo and beyond.
In 2019 she received the New Horizons in Physics Prize for research into current and future earth-based gravitational wave detectors. (Laudatory speech).
