Group

Here is me and the great people in my group. Come visit and chat science with us!

For group members, more info on our internal wiki.

Davide Gerosa

PI. [email protected] or [email protected]
Running around, gravity, football, rock music, some more gravity. Astrophysics when I want to remember things are real, mountains when I want to see things are beautiful.

Nathan Steinle

Postdoc. [email protected]
Astro-modeler, pathways creator, black-hole spinner. Between exploring nature and scribing poems, looks at physics during the day and ecology during the night. In his free-fall time, enjoys being thrown on a Judo mat.

Matt Mould

PhD student. [email protected]
Post-Newtonian wizard, python sorcerer, gig-goer. When not thinking about astrophysics, can be found noodling on a guitar, on a (very) long run, or with the head buried in a book. Or wishing there was a guitar around.

Daria Gangardt

PhD student. [email protected]
Machine learner, rider of (gravitational) waves, fencing fanatic, binge-watcher extraordinaire. Fan of trying new things and exploring new places.

Viola De Renzis

PhD student. [email protected]
Data analyzer, GR tester, music addicted, guitar player (or at least she tries), nature lover, manga reader. Intrigued by all questions we cannot answer.
