About Me

I am a theoretical physicist working in the field of numerical relativity. I got my PhD in Parma University (Italy) and I am currently a post-doc in the numerical relativity group of Prof.B.Bruegmann in Jena (Germany).

My work is about modelling gravitational waves from strong gravitating binary system (either black holes or neutron stars) and single neutron stars employing numerical methods. Here you find my articles on arXiv.

Current projects

• Gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers, fully general relativistic 3+1 numerical simulations
• Binary black hole mergers in the large-mass-ratio limit, perturbation theory of black holes, and Effective-one-body model
• The conformal Z4 formulation of Einstein equations for numerical relativity
• Neutron star oscillations and instabilities

Other scientific interests

• Relativistic hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and radiation hydrodynamics
• Numerical methods for PDEs
