\"GianLuca<\/a><\/p>\n

I am Research Director at INAF and I have been working at the HEAG in Rome since 1997. I got my Laurea degree at “La Sapienza” University in 1992 and the PhD in Astrophysics at SISSA-ISAS in 1996.
\nDuring the last ~30 years I had several (scientific) travel mates. At the very beginning (during the nineties) I worked on (and still working on) the development of timing techniques to search for and study of coherent signals in X-ray sources and their application to the astronomical archives of X-ray missions ( CATS@BAR <\/a> and EXTraS <\/a> are recent projects). I have been involved in Magnetar (the strongest magnets in the Universe) studies since 1993 when I first discovered pulsations in the class prototype source 4U0142+614. Since 1999 I have been involved in the study of an extreme X-ray binary hosting two white dwarfs when I discovered the shortest orbital period currently known (HM Cnc; Porb=5.4minutes). More recently, I am focusing on Ultraluminous X-ray Sources hosting neutron stars accreting at super-Eddington rates (with the discovery of the most distant and luminous X-ray pulsars in NGC5907). Other topics of interest are GWs, GRBs, FRBs, search of the optical counterpart of new X-ray pulsators, time domain astronomy. I have been teaching at \u201cTor Vergata\u201d University for many years (\u201cHigh Energy Astrophysics\u201d course).<\/p>\n
