Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElena Cuoco is a Full Professor at the University of Bologna and a seasoned gravitational-wave scientist with over two decades of experience translating detector data into astrophysical discovery. She led the Data Science Office at the European Gravitational Observatory for twenty years and has applied machine learning and AI to detector characterization and signal searches within the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration. Her leadership spans European initiatives—she chaired the COST CA17137 action on ML for gravitational waves and served on the ESCAPE executive board—bridging research, infrastructure, and community coordination. With a PhD in astrophysics from Pisa and a history of hands-on algorithm development for noise identification and whitening, she combines deep theoretical knowledge with practical data-science engineering. Based in Bologna, she remains an active contributor to international projects and publications, notably bringing data-science rigor to the rarefied domain of gravitational-wave instrumentation. An under-the-radar strength is her long record of translating complex detector noise problems into robust, deployable analysis pipelines used across collaborations.
