The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), one of ESA ’s upcoming large-class missions, is designed to detect gravitational waves (GWs) at millihertz frequencies. This frequency band containing an abundance of galactic, extragalactic, and cosmological sources. The large number of sources, together with the fact that sources will be overlapping in both time and frequency, requires the development of a new global approach to LISA data analysis where all the sources and instrument are characterised simultaneously. In this talk, I will discuss the key data analysis challenges associated with the LISA global fit, recent advances toward addressing them, and how these efforts align with LISA ’s major scientific objectives.
