Giuliano Iorio

Giuliano Iorio (“La Caixa” Postdoctoral Junior Leader at the University of Barcelona, Spain) is an interdisciplinary astrophysicist working on a variety of topics ranging from the study of gaseous discs in spiral galaxies to the astrophysical interpretation of gravitation weave events including stellar and binary evolution, and kinematics and dynamics of our Galaxy. He is currently the main developer of the binary population synthesis code SEVN used to study the demography of the binary compact object populations (black holes, neutron stars) that could be the progenitor of Gravitational Wave signals.

Sara Rastello

Sara Rastello (Beatriu de Pinós post-doctoral fellow at the University of Barcelona, Spain) is a computational astrophysicist, working in the field of gravitational wave sources, stellar dynamics & exotic multi-messenger transients. She is an expert in numerical N-body (PeTar, NBODY6,7 NBODY6++GPU, ARCHAIN, etc) & population synthesis codes (BSE, MOBSE & SEVN).

Tomás Andrade

Tomás Andrade (Lecturer at the Institut de Ciencies del Cosmos of the University of Barcelona) is a member of the LIGO-Virgo and EinsteinTelescope collaborations and is dedicated to simulating black hole collisions.

 

Macarena Lagos

Macarena Lagos (Professor at Universidad Andres Bello) is a theoretical astrophysicist interested in using gravitational waves from binary compact objects to probe the fundamental properties of cosmology and gravity, including dark energy, dark matter, and modified gravity. She is part of the LISA and Cosmic Explorer science consortia.

Lam Hui

Lam Hui (Professor at Columbia University, USA) is a theoretical physicist with wide interests in cosmology and gravity. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of inflation, large-scale structures, dark matter, black holes, and gravitational waves. Regarding the latter, Prof. Hui has contributed to the characterization of the ringdown of gravitational waves, and the effect of tidal deformations of compact objects.
