I am an associate professor at the Physics Department of Sapienza – University of Rome. My research interests include modelling gravitational-wave signals of merging black holes and neutron stars, gravitational-wave data analysis, nuclear astrophysics, and numerical relativity.

I am part of the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration in which I serve as co-chair of the Gamma-Ray Burst working group, and lead searches for gravitational-wave signals at the time and sky position of gamma-ray burst events. I am also co-chair of the reviews of all results from the Burst data analysis group which runs unmodelled searches for gravitational-wave transient signals.
