Group & positions

People working with me at the Centre de Physique Théorique in Marseille, together with PhD and postdoctoral opportunities and current or past calls.

Sayantani Bera

Postdoctoral researcher · 2024–

Sayantani works on cosmology with gravitational-wave data, dark matter and dark energy through gravitational-wave propagation, waveform systematics, and gravitational-wave memory. She is a member of the Virgo and Einstein Telescope collaborations.

Viola De Renzis

Postdoctoral researcher · 2024–

Viola works on compact-binary populations, flexible population models, Bayesian inference and forecasts for third-generation gravitational-wave detectors. She is a member of the Einstein Telescope Collaboration.

Alessandro Agapito

PhD student · 2024–

Alessandro works on advanced statistical inference for gravitational-wave cosmology and on the capabilities of future detectors to test cosmology and fundamental physics. He is a member of the Virgo and Einstein Telescope collaborations.

Prospective PhD students

Possible PhD projects should typically be discussed around January for a start in the following autumn. Early contact is useful so that we can identify a suitable project and funding route.

No current call

There are no funded positions currently advertised. Active PhD or postdoctoral calls will be listed here when available.

This section will list former PhD students and postdoctoral researchers as the group evolves.
