Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSerena Vinciguerra is a postdoctoral researcher with eight years of hands-on experience turning large, messy astrophysics and telescope datasets into publishable insights using advanced statistical inference and open-source tools. Based in Amsterdam, she has led the statistical analysis of NICER X-ray data for millisecond pulsars, contributed code to the X-PSI project, and published both software and datasets following FAIR principles. Her background spans gravitational-wave data analysis, Bayesian workflows, MCMC and nested sampling, and practical machine learning, enabling her to bridge theory, computation, and communication. She regularly presents to both specialist and public audiences, supervises students, and fosters inclusive research communities through outreach and committee work. Serena is seeking roles where her rapid learning, creativity, and user-focused analytical tooling can deliver measurable societal impact.
