Description

In her four-decade long career, Prof. Valeria Ferrari has given seminal contributions to the theory of General Relativity, to gravitational-wave phenomenology, and to the understanding of the physics of neutron stars and black holes. She has mentored several students who have achieved prestigious academic and institutional positions.

This meeting will gather together her long-lasting collaborators and former students to celebrate Prof. Ferrari's career and the multi-faced aspects of her research activity, which is nowadays more timely than ever.
