Lodovico Capuano
Former PhD student at SISSA (2022–2025), supervised by the node PI. Worked on quasinormal modes of dynamical black holes, systematic biases in LISA ringdown analyses, and numerical-relativity simulations of dynamical scalarization in black hole binaries in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Several of his papers acknowledge GWSky.
