Gabriela González, (born 24 February 1965) is a research scientist at the Louisiana State University and spokesperson for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.[3] She has published several papers on Brownian motion as a limit to the sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors, and has an interest in data analysis for gravitational-wave astronomy.[4]

In February 2016, she was one of four LIGO scientists present for the announcement that the first direct gravitational wave observation had been detected in September 2015 by Marco Drago, a physicist at the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, Germany.[5][6][7][a]
