DARKTRACK project funded!

Really excited to announce that I won the Internal Call for Research 2023 grant for which I applied in August! My project “Searching for Dark Energy off the beaten track” (acronym: DARKTRACK) was one among 5 projects selected throughout the University of Trento from ~150 applications, and I have been granted in total 135.200,00€. The goal of the project will be that of developing new ways to search for (screened) dark energy, and more generally look for non-gravitational interactions of dark energy. I will use the money to hire 2 postdocs for 2 years each (ideally an astroparticle physicist and a BH theorist), so if you are interested in joining my group stay tuned for updates on the application process. The group’s future is looking extremely bright, considering that we will also have another postdoc coming with a Caritro Fellowship, and I can’t wait to start working with all these bright young minds!
