I’m super excited to welcome my new PhD student Miguel Sabogal to my group! Miguel, who is originally from Colombia, previously did his MSc in Brazil at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul under the supervision of my friend and colleague Rafael Nunes, working broadly on tests of fundamental physics from cosmological data: with me, he will keep going in this direction, with an eye in particular to cosmological tensions. Miguel already has an outstanding publication record, with several high-impact, original, and extremely interesting publications, including a PRL. Many of my colleagues I’ve spoken to think of Miguel as the potential future of cosmology in Latin America, and I am excited that he chose to join my group. Welcome Miguel!
Davide Pedrotti (re)joins my group!
Today Davide Pedrotti, after an excellent MSc defense, (re)joins my group as a PhD student. We will be starting some very cool work on cosmological tensions, while also carrying on Davide’s earlier research interests in black hole physics. Stay tuned in particular for our upcoming paper on the connection between quasinormal modes and shadows for rotating regular BHs, which constituted a major part of Davide’s MSc thesis! Welcome (back) Davide!
