Grants

I’m happy to share that Dr. Philippa Cole, a postdoc with us, has been awarded one of this year’s “L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science”prizes. She was selected for the “Young Talents Italy” category and is, in fact, the very first non-Italian national to ever receive a prize in this category. Pippa’s research focuses on the phenomenology of the gravitational interaction, with applications to both cosmology and gravitational-wave data analysis. Huge congratulations to Pippa — we are very proud that you are doing science with us! More here and here.

…there’s more to it of course, but this grant includes a giant cardboard of yourself!

Congrats to Alex Toubiana, postdoc with us, who was just awarded an independent fellowship from the Italian Research Ministry. The scheme is called Young Researcher 2024 and will fund Alex and his research for 3 years.

Arianna Renzini (about to start a Marie-Curie Fellowship with us with us) was awarded one of this year’s “L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science” award. Congrats!

Very happy to report that Arianna Renzini (currently a postdoc at Caltech) was awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship from the European Union, to be hosted here with my group. Arianna will bring expertise in modeling the gravitational-wave stochastic background, which is a key target for both current and future experiments. Arianna’s proposal is titled “ Stochastic rewind and fast-forward: calibrating LISA with LIGO’s black holes and stochastic background.” Huge congrats, can’t wait to welcome you here.
