The research interest of the group lies in all aspects of gravitational phenomena, ranging across:
- fundamental and conceptual issues related to the gravitational interaction
- theoretical investigations of spacetime singularities and symmetries with the methods of mathematical physics, both in general relativity and in modified gravity theories
- cosmology (modified gravity effects in solving cosmological tensions, dark energy models)
- relativistic astrophysics (neutron stars and other compact objects, black hole accretion, jets and magnetic fields, high-energy cosmic particles, dark matter models, gravitational lensing)
- gravitational wave physics (waveforms, eccentric compact binary dynamics, spin and quadrupole effects, data analysis), through exact, post-Newtonian approximate or numerical methods, supported by algorithms and multi-core computer procedures on grid and GPU clusters
- gravitational wave detector site characterization (rock characteristics, thermo-mechanical coupling, Newtonian noises)
Research highlights: 2023; 2019-2022
