Research Projects & Collaborations

Multi-Messenger Astronomy at the Frontiers

Leading and contributing to international collaborations that connect gravitational wave detectors with high-energy space observatories. Developing real-time analysis pipelines and shaping the science case for next-generation multi-messenger facilities.

Roles and responsibilities

LVK–Swift–Fermi Liaison

Coordinator 2024 – Present

Leading coordination of joint gravitational wave and electromagnetic searches between LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, Swift, and Fermi collaborations.

  • Coordinating observational strategy during LVK O4 observing run
  • Developing joint analysis pipelines for GW+EM transient detection
  • Facilitating real-time communications between collaboration teams

Swift-BAT Real-Time Subthreshold Search

Analyst & Developer 2023 – Present

Development and monitoring of the real-time low-latency Swift-BAT sub-threshold analysis pipeline for targeted follow-up of external transients.

  • Real-time analysis of Swift-BAT data for GW counterpart searches
  • Targeted follow-up of gravitational wave candidates
  • Integration with LVK alert systems

Multi-messenger Astronomy in the ET Era

Research Team Member 2020 – Present

METE is a project funded for developing multi-messenger science for Einstein Telescope. As research team member, I am involved in various aspects of the project, including:

  • Predicting joint GW+EM detection rates for ET
  • Developing optimal observational strategies
  • Connecting ET science with future high-energy observatories

International networks & memberships

LVK Collaboration

LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA Collaboration

Member since 2019. Work in the Multi-messenger Transients group as analyst of GW searches targeted on GRBs, using PyGRB and Xpipeline. Currently coordinator of the LVK–Fermi–Swift liaison.

Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope

Einstein Telescope Collaboration

Member of Division 4: Multi-messenger Observations. Working on predictions of joint GW+EM detections and optimal observational strategy for ET.

Lunar Gravitational Wave Antenna

Lunar Gravitational Wave Antenna

Contributing to the definition of the multi-messenger science case, focusing on electromagnetic emission during mergers and potential astronomical facility partnerships.

THESEUS Consortium

THESEUS Consortium

THESEUS is a mission concept for the next generation of gamma-ray burst (GRB) observatories. I am involved in population and GRB science and multi-messenger working groups, establishing synergies between THESEUS and future GW observatories for compact binary merger detection.
