Biography

Prof. Davide Gerosa obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge (UK) and was then awarded a NASA Einstein Fellowship at the California Institute of Technology (USA). Following a first faculty appointment at the University of Birmingham (UK), Davide is now an associate professor at the University of Milan-Bicocca where he leads a 1.5M € Starting Grant project funded by the European Research Council. He tackles various topics in relativistic astrophysics and gravitational-wave astronomy, including post-Newtonian dynamics, black-hole binary formation channels, waveform modeling, machine learning applications to gravitational-wave physics, and tests of general relativity.
