Current Research

My area of research is gravitational wave astronomy. I study the effect of the astrophysical environments on gravitational wave sources, and perturbed black holes. I work with both theory and data analysis, and I am a member of the consortium for the future LISA gravitational wave space mission.

Past Research

In the past, I worked on astroparticle physics (detection of axions with astrophysical probes) and on cosmology (quantum models of the early universe).
