Marica Minucci
Welcome to my webpage!
My name is Marica Minucci and I am a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Before taking this role, I was a Lecturer in Mathematics at Northeastern University London.
I obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Queen Mary, University of London in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Juan Antonio Valiente Kroon. My Ph.D. research focused on devising strategies combining conformal methods and hyperbolic PDE techniques to study the asymptotic properties of solutions to the Einstein field equations with positive Cosmological constant.
Before joining Queen Mary, I obtained a Master's degree in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at the University of Naples "Federico II" under the supervision of Prof. Giampiero Esposito. My Master's thesis Hyperbolic Equations and General Relativity can be found here.
My research interests lie in Mathematical General Relativity, in particular, I am interested in the stability problem for asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes, the asymptotic structure of the gravitational field and QNM instabilities.
Here are links to my profiles on ResearchGate, LinkedIn and Inspirehep.
Key Words:
