Work experience

Stanford University October 2014 — Present

Research Scientist
Accomplishments and duties during my work at Stanford first as a PostDoc then as Research Scientist:
  • Search and characterization of transients in astronomical data: designed and implemented new methods for the search of transients in optical (LSST), gamma-ray (Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope) and X-ray (XMM-Newton and Chandra) data:
    • doubled the number of Gamma-Ray Bursts detected by Fermi
    • found several hundred new transients in Chandra and XMM-Newton data
    • developed a new promising transient-finding algorithm for LSST competitive with image-subtraction, but substantially simpler to use
    • developed and implemented an innovative Bayesian method for the search of Gravitational Waves counterparts in Fermi data, used by the Fermi collaboration
  • Authored several scientific papers on GRBs and electromagnetic counterparts to Gravitational Waves
  • Multi-wavelength studies with Fermi and HAWC:
    • Owner and coordinator of the innovative open-source effort 3ML (the Multi-Mission Maximum Likelihood framework): https://github.com/giacomov/3ML

Refereed publications

NOTE: I am a member of the Fermi/LAT collaboration since 2010. Important papers in the Fermi/LAT collaboration are recognized by the "Category I" status and are signed by the entire collaboration in alphabetical order. The people who lead the work are recognized with the "Contact Author" designation. There are at most 4 contact authors for each paper. I am also a member of the HAWC collaboration, which has a similar policy: important papers are signed by the entire collaboration in alphabetical order, although there is no concept of contact authors.

Here I present the list of papers for which  I am first author and collaboration papers in which I had a  fundamental leading role (explained for each paper). I order them by publication date (most recent first)
