Two students just completed their Bachelor’s degree with research projects in our group. Leonardo Toti worked with myself and Giulia Fumagalli on exploring black-hole merger trees in dense clusters, while Simone Restuccia worked with Costantino Pacilio on applying dimensionality-reduction techniques to black-hole ringdowns. I had the honor of heading their graduation committee and could call them “physicists” for the very first time (and the Italian ceremonial phase is imposing: “coi poteri conferitami…“). Congrats Simone and Leonardo!
