Summary
Chiara Mingarelli is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University with a decade of experience in gravitational-wave astrophysics and pulsar timing. She has held research and fellowship positions at institutions including the Simons Foundation, Max Planck Institute, JPL, and Caltech, bringing a blend of observational, theoretical, and computational expertise to her work. Her research centers on using pulsar timing arrays to probe gravitational waves and fundamental physics, a focus developed during a PhD in Gravitational Wave Astrophysics at the University of Birmingham. Chiara combines academic leadership and mentorship with active collaboration across international labs, having served as a student representative and researcher in multiple countries. Based in New Haven, she leverages strong quantitative training from Carleton and Bologna to bridge data-driven modeling and cosmological theory. A detail often overlooked: she has navigated both high-level institute research roles and hands-on outreach and communication, evidenced by public-facing engagements like interviews and blogging.
