Alberto Sesana
I graduated from Universita` dell'Insubria (Italy) and also got my PhD there in 2007. I then moved around for several postdocs: Birmingham (1 yr), Pennstate (2 yr) and AEI (5 years). I eventually got a University Research Fellowship of the Royal Society and moved to Birmingham (UK) where I am now Senior Lecturer. I am also member of the International Pulsar Timing Array Steering Committee and of the European Pulsar Timing Array Executive Committee, and chair of the LISA Consortium Astrophysical Black Hole working group.
