I am a gravitational-wave astrophysicist
Dr. Chiara Mingarelli is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University and a prominent researcher in the field of gravitational wave astrophysics. Her work focuses on using pulsar timing arrays to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves, particularly those generated by supermassive black hole binaries. She has held key leadership roles, including serving on NASA's Physics of the Cosmos Executive Committee and co-chairing the Gravitational Wave Science Interest Group. Dr. Mingarelli is also a Full Member of the NANOGrav collaboration, contributing to the discovery of the gravitational wave background. An advocate for diversity in science, she previously served as the Ada Lovelace Director of Diversity at the Flatiron Institute. Dr. Mingarelli has been widely recognized for her contributions, with over 100 refereed papers with 16,000 citations, and numerous grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation.

NewsMarch 2024: I am thrilled to been chosen as the recipient of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) Career Award 2023. The award was presented at the Annual Conference and General Assembly held March 14-16, 2024, in Milan, Italy.
October: We are pleased to invite you to the first Yale Gravitational Wave Symposium, Nov 20th and 21st. Details on our website.secure.touchnet.net/C20510_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=156&SINGLESTORE=true September 13th 2023: I was just named a Public Voices Fellow at Yale, part of the OpEd project. I'm looking forward to learning how to write OpEds with leading journalists, and hopefully improving both my scientific and general writing skills. June 28th 2023: I am thrilled to be part of the NANOGrav Collaboration that just put out the NANOGrav's 15-Year Data Release you can read more it on the New York Times or The Washington Post or Scientific American or this other article on The Washington Post. March 1st 2023: I am delighted to share that I was just appointed to the Executive Committee of NASA's Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group. My expertise area will be the “Gravitational Wave Science Interest Group". From NASA: The Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group serves as a community-based, interdisciplinary forum for soliciting and coordinating community analysis and input in support of Physics of the Cosmos objectives and of their implications for architecture planning and activity prioritization and for future exploration. It provides findings of analyses to the NASA Astrophysics Division Director. |
