Laura Bassi award for Maggio
Elisa Maggio received the Laura Bassi Prize for early-career women in physics by the Italian Physics Society. She received the prize on September 9th at the national congress of the Italian Physics Society in Bologna "for her significant theoretical contributions to the gravitational-wave physics and her role of scientific responsibility in the future experiment LISA".
Elisa is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam who is visiting the Strong Group as a secondment institution. Her research grant with the title "Testing the horizon of black holes with gravitational waves" (ThorGW) will provide novel tests of general relativity on the location of horizons in compact objects with current and next-generation detectors.
