The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open a new window onto the gravitational wave Universe by observing millihertz signals from massive black hole mergers, compact galactic binaries, and extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs). Extracting these signals from a data stream shaped by instrumental noise and astrophysical confusion requires advanced data analysis strategies. In this...
