I obtained my PhD in physics from Cornell University and held postdoctoral positions at Caltech (Sherman Fairchild Prize Fellowship), the University of Maryland, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Radboud University Nijmegen (Excellence Fellowship), and the University of Amsterdam. 

Currently, I serve as co-chair of the Division 'Nuclear Physics' on the Einstein Telescope Observational Science Board, leader of the workpackage 'Analytical models for massive black hole binaries' in the LISA consortium, leader of the working group 'Gravitational Waves' for the COST Action Quantum gravity in the multimessenger approach, and a member of the Virgo collaboration.
