Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichele Mancarella is a tenure-track Chaire d'Excellence and group leader at Aix-Marseille Université, combining eight years of research and industry experience in gravitational-wave astrophysics, cosmology, statistical inference, and machine learning. With a PhD from Université Paris-Saclay and a track record across CEA, CERN, Geneva, and Milan-Bicocca, he bridges theoretical physics and practical data science, having shipped open-source research tools and taught at undergraduate to PhD levels. He plays coordinating roles in large collaborations (Einstein Telescope, Virgo, Euclid) where he shapes detector configuration and common-tools strategy, while supervising PhD and postdoc projects. His background in AI and industry-focused data science work informs efficient algorithms to cut computational costs in cosmology and robust statistical pipelines for population studies. Notably, his early work discovered a novel modification of General Relativity during his Erasmus placement, showing a blend of creative theory and hands-on data analysis. Based in Greater Paris, he is an active contributor to open-source research software hosted on his GitHub.
