Massimo Bassan is Associate Professor of Physics at University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research focuses mainly on gravitational waves: he built the first Italian prototype of the interferometer, took part in the development of resonant cryogenic antennas, and he is currently involved in the spatial mission LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) of ESA. He is also member of the Executive Board of the Virgo-EGO Scientific Forum (VESF) and coordinates the VESF schools on gravitational waves.

“This is an interesting book which bridges the gap
between popular articles and treatises on gravitational waves, and the highly
specialized articles on aspects of potential gravitational-wave sources and the
detectors being designed to search for them. … a book aimed at young keen
researchers starting out in the field of gravitational-wave detection. … it
will also be of interest to experimental physicists working on the limitations
to fundamental measurement.” (Jim Hough, The Observatory, Vol. 135 (1245),
April, 2015)
