Manuela Campanelli (born in Switzerland) is a distinguished professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences and in the Astrophysical Sciences and Technology Program at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT),[1] and the director of their Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation.[2] Her work focuses on the astrophysics of black holes and gravitational waves. In 2009 she was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[3][4]
Professional Work
Campanelli is known for her groundbreaking work in gravitational wave astrophysics. She was lead author on a paper that produced a breakthrough in gravitational wave astrophysics[5] in 2005; she also discovered that supermassive black holes can be ejected from their host galaxies at up to 4000 km/s[6]. She then moved on to studying the behavior of matter around inspiraling black holes, both in the mini disks size[7] , growth[8] and potential electromagnetic emissions[9]. She has received many awards, including the Marie Curie Fellowship (1998)[10], the RIT Trustees Scholarship Award[11] , was mentioned in Kip Thorne's Nobel Prize lecture[12], and her paper for the gravitational wave breakthrough was listed as one of the landmark papers of the century by the American Physical Society.[13] . She was also the chair of the APS topical group in gravitation in 2013[14].
Biography
Campanelli was born in Switzerland, but moved with her family to Italy at the age of 14. She received an undergraduate degree in applied mathematics from the University of Perugia in Italy in 1991, and a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Bern in Switzerland in 1996. She moved then to the University of Utah and then to the Max Planck Institute in Germany, where she began to use supercomputer simulations to understand how black holes coalesce.[15]
After five years at the University of Texas at Brownsville,[15] Dr. Campanelli joined the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2007.[4]
