Cosimo Nigro joins the UAB Physics Department Faculty
December 11, 2024
Gamma-ray GroupIFAE gamma-ray astronomy researcher Cosimo Nigro has joined the UAB Physics Department Faculty as Lecturer (Professor Lector) in the High Energy Physics Unit (Unitat de Física d’Altes Energies). Cosimo had already been teaching in the Department as a Teaching Associate (Professor Associat) during his postdoctoral stay at IFAE.
Cosimo joined IFAE in 2019, after receiving his Ph.D. from Humboldt University. The focus of his work in gamma-ray astronomy is the analysis and interpretation of the highest-energy emission from active galaxies. He also develops open data and software for high-energy astrophysics, in order to foster data combination and community access.
Cosimo joins Pilar Casado (Professor Titular), José María Crespo (Professor Emeritus), Manuel Delfino (Professor), Enrique Fernández (Professor Honorari), Marc Manera (Professor Lector Serra Hunter) and Carles Sánchez (Ramón y Cajal Researcher) in the High Energy Physics Unit. Josep Flix and Christian Neissner from PIC are Teaching Associates in the Unit. Manuel Delfino coordinates the unit.
