Gravitational Wave Science with Machine Learning

Dr. Elena Cuoco is Full Professor at the University of Bologna since 2024, she conducts research in the field of gravitational waves. She is a member of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration, where she works on data analysis and the application of artificial intelligence techniques for detector characterization and the search for gravitational signals of astrophysical origin. From 2018 to 2023, she served as the Action Chair for COST Action CA17137, dedicated to the application of machine learning to gravitational wave science. Author of numerous scientific publications, she is involved in various initiatives at the European and international levels.
