I am an an Assistant Professor in Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. Before moving to Pittsburgh, I was a NASA Einstein Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley.
I study the evolution of the Universe, the formation of compact object binaries, and the evolution of galaxies using large galaxy surveys and gravitational waves. I mostly use data from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), and I look at galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument.

Onde gravitazionali da buchi neri in galassie nane
Questo post è una spiegazione per il pubblico dell’articolo: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.10688.pdf Durante gli ultimi 5 anni, i rivelatori di onde gravitazionali LIGO (negli USA) e Virgo (in Italia) hanno osservato decine di collisioni tra buchi neri in sistemi binari. L’origine della maggior parte di questi buchi neri rimane tuttora un mistero: dalle teorie di evoluzione stellare…
