Who I am

Theoretical physicist at NASA

Gravitational-wave science

  • Modeling GW sources and their populations (especially binaries)
  • Extracting physical information from GW signals
  • Designing data-analysis software for correctness and reproducibility
  • Building space-based GW detectors and preparing to analyze their data

What is new

A new vallis.org

Today marks the debut of the new version of vallis.org. I loved the old design of connected boxes with a yellow background, but it was time for new. Most of the old content should have survived through the transition at the same URL. Please let me know if you're missing anything, or if anything looks strange.

The new website is carefully handcoded in HTML5/CSS, on the basis of Twitter Bootstrap, and it is generated by a custom static-site engine using Jinja2 templates. jQuery provides a little interactivity.

Michele's miraculous month?

Not quite, but I submitted three papers in January: a methods paper on computing the sensitivity of space based detectors (with Chad Galley), and long Astrophys. J. paper on GWs from Galactic binaries (with Samaya Nissanke, Tom Prince, and Gijs Nelemans), and a compressed version of the eLISA science case (with a bunch of other people, but the paper is my compilation and my lovechild). Now the question is how to keep this up...

Canadian tour

Here's the video and slides of two seminars that I gave on my... Canadian tour of PI and CITA: "How Good is good enough for Gravitational-wave Templates?" (Nov 28, also a local mirror) and "Space-based gravitational-wave astronomy in the next decade, with a coda of statistics" (Dec 1).
