Research Interests

My research interests are mostly directed towards the physics of gravitation and compact objects, such as black holes (BHs), with a particular focus on gravitational waves (GWs). GWs provide an intriguing ground to study fundamental aspects of the gravitational interaction in experimentally accessible physical systems, the binary systems of compact objects. I have been working on quantum motivated BH models and perturbations of BHs as a tool to study the ringdown signal, i.e. intermediate/late part of the GW signal. Part of my interests is also devoted to studying the rich and partially unexplored mathematical structure hiding in the description of these gravitational systems. This provides a deep connection with the study of integrable systems
