Research interests

My research focuses on "Cosmology with Gravitational Waves," aiming to extract insights about both the early and late universe using gravitational waves. I am an expert of stochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves originating from cosmological sources such as inflation, cosmic strings, primordial black holes, and phase transitions, as well as astrophysical sources like binary black holes and binary neutron stars. My work combines theoretical modeling with computational methods, enabling me to develop sophisticated data analysis and parameter estimation tools tailored for gravitational wave detection with interferometers.

I am deeply involved in the LISA and Einstein Telescope collaborations.  Specifically, I am a full member of the LISA Cosmology Working Group and the LISA Data Challenge. Additionally, I am one of the coordinator of the Cosmology Division of the Einstein Telescope Observational Science Board. I am also a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, focusing primarily on cosmology and stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds. 

My expertise extends to Cosmic Microwave Background physics, particularly in deriving predictions from inflationary models, with a special emphasis on primordial gravitational waves, for future CMB missions.

Furthermore, I contribute to the Euclid and SKA collaborations, where I am involved in projects that explore the cross-correlation between gravitational wave sources and galaxy catalogues.
