email:<\/strong> simone.mastrogiovanni[AT]roma1.infn.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a researcher at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Rome, and I am also the Principal Investigator of the GravitySirens project. My research mainly focuses on building new techniques for Gravitational Wave cosmology and astrophysics. I am also part of the Virgo and Einstein Telescope collaboration for almost a decade. When I do not work, I enjoy dancing swing (lindy hop)  and climbing.

email:<\/strong> gregoire.pierra[AT]roma1.infn.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Rome, Italy, working as part of the GravitySirens ERC project. My research focuses on gravitational-wave (GW) cosmology and the various methods for measuring cosmological parameters using GW detections from compact binary coalescences. I have been a full member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA scientific collaboration for four years, and I am also a member of the Einstein Telescope collaboration. Outside of physics, I dedicate all of my free time to training and climbing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

email: <\/strong>alberto.colombo[AT]roma1.infn.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Rome, working as part of the GravitySirens ERC project. My research focuses on the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational-wave sources and their application to cosmology. I am a member of both the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the Einstein Telescope collaborations. Beyond research, I am deeply passionate about science outreach and the intersections between art and science.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Ferraiuolo<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

email:<\/strong> sarah.FERRAIUOLO[AT]univ-amu.fr<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a PhD student jointly affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome and Aix-Marseille University. My research centres on gravitational wave cosmology, with a focus on improving the analysis by incorporating new elements, such as the stochastic gravitational wave background and more complete galaxy catalogues, such as Euclid. Beyond diving into GWs and cosmology, I enjoy exploring different cuisines, going to the cinema and eating gelato! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

email: alessandro.buchicchio[AT]uniroma1.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a PhD student at Sapienza University of Rome. I joined the GravitySirens group, where I focus on the inference of cosmological parameters using gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescence events. Beyond physics, my interests include music, literature, and acting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

email:<\/strong> scarpa.1871231[AT]studenti.uniroma1.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thesis focused on using the machine learning technique of Normalizing Flows to model the distributions of compact binaries from synthetic astrophysical catalogs and to perform spectral sirens cosmology. Apart from physics, I enjoy playing musical instruments, singing and swimming.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
