Gabriela Sato-Polito

I’m Gabi, a postdoctoral member at the Institute for Advanced Study working on gravitational-wave astrophysics and cosmology. I received my PhD in 2023 from Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Marc Kamionkowski. I am broadly interested in exploring astrophysical observations to tackle questions regarding the origin, evolution, and composition of the Universe. My primary research interests are on measurements of low-frequency gravitational waves with pulsar timing arrays and what we can learn about the most massive black holes in the Universe from them, which you can read more about in the research tab.

Before starting graduate school at JHU, I was an undergraduate in an interdisciplinary sciences program at Universidade de São Paulo, where I worked with Prof. Raul Abramo on the formation of large-scale structures in the matter distribution of the Universe.
