EOB@Work25 in Turin, Italy
The last event I attended this summer was the EOB@Work25: 10 years of gravitational wave detections in Turin, Italy. I was invited to present a talk about my recent paper, Black-hole - neutron-star mergers: new numerical-relativity simulations and multipolar effective-one-body model with spin precession and eccentricity.

New Frontiers in NR 2025 in Palma, Spain
The next conference I attended this summer was the New Frontiers 2025: past, current and future challenges in Numerical Relativity in Palma, Spain. I had the opportunity to give a talk about my recent paper, Black-hole - neutron-star mergers: new numerical-relativity simulations and multipolar effective-one-body model with spin precession and ec...

GR24 and Amaldi16 Meetings in Glasgow, U.K.
This summer I attended the 24th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (GR24) and the 16th Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves (Amaldi16) which were celebrated together in Glasgow, UK. The talk I presented during this meeting was on my recent paper, Black-hole - neutron-star mergers: new numerical-relativity ... Read more 18 Jul 2025 - less than 1 minute read
Black-hole - neutron-star mergers: new numerical-relativity simulations and multipolar effective-one-body model with spin precession and eccentricity
In 2507.00113 we present 52 new numerical-relativity (NR) simulations of black-hole-neutron-star merger (BHNS) mergers and employ the data to inform TEOBResumS-Dalí: a multipolar effective-one-body model also including precession and eccentricity. Our simulations target quasicircular mergers and the parameter space region characterized by signif... Read more 30 Jun 2025 - 1 minute read
New publication - On the origin of GW230529
In this study in collaboration with colleagues at Penn State University, we investigated the origins of GW230529, delving into its formation from massive stars within isolated binary systems. Utilizing population synthesis models, we present compelling evidence that the neutron star component forms second. However, the event’s low signal-to-nois...
