Detecting the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Carlo Nicola Colacino currently holds a research position at INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear physics). He received his PhD from the University of Cagliari in 2001 under the supervision of Massimo Bianchi. He has conducted research at the Max-Planck-Institut for Gravitational Physics, the University of Birmingham, and the Research Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics in Hungary. His main interest lies in gravitational-wave physics, both by studying possible sources and by participating in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration's data analysis efforts.
