Postdocs

Sayantani Bera (2024-)

Sayantani's interests are focussed on cosmology with GW data, as well as testing the nature of dark matter/dark energy with gravitational wave propagation, waveform systematics in gravitational-wave data analysis and gravitational wave memory. She joined CPT after postdoctoral experiences in India and Spain. She is member of the LVK and Einstein Telescope collaborations.

Viola De Renzis (2024-)

After a PhD obtained at the University of Milan Bicocca (Italy) with focus on the dynamics of binary black holes, as well as the application of machine learning and Bayesian inference techniques to GW data, Viola is interested in forecasting the capabilities of third-generation detectors for population analyses, and flexible population models of compact binary mergers. She is member of the Einstein Telescope collaborations.

PhD

Alessandro Agapito (2024-)

Alessandro is interested in advanced statistical inference methods for GW cosmology, and in assessing the capabilities of future GW detectors to test cosmology and fundamental physics. He is member of the LVK and Einstein Telescope collaborations.

Other collaborators

I frequently collaborate with the group of M. Maggiore at the University of Geneva, its former member F. Iacovelli (now postdoc at Johns Hopkins University), the group of D. Gerosa at the University of Milan-Bicocca (Italy), and the gravitational-wave cosmology group at the University of Bologna (Italy).
