About

Hello, I'm Michele Vallisneri, and I am a physicist in the Astrophysics and Space Science section of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Here you will find information about my research and about me in general.

You can see my curriculum vitae, read about my research interests, browse my publications, look at my photoalbum, and check out my technical weblog/wiki. (Click on these links, or use the menu at the side of the page.)

What's new

New photoalbum!

New photoalbum: in Aspen (May-Jun 2008).

Jun 12, 2008 New preprint: ``The Mock LISA Data Challenges: from Challenge 1B to Challenge 3'' (with the MLDC Task Force and Challenge-1B participants).

Jan 13, 2008. See my revamped research page for more details about past and current projects.
Jan 2, 2008. For a change, an article in a computer-science journal (with Stas Babak)!
Oct 24, 2007. New preprint: ``Sensitivity and parameter-estimation precision for alternate LISA configurations'' (with Jeff Crowder and Massimo Tinto).
Jul 22, 2007. New preprint: ``LISA detections of massive black hole inspirals: parameter extraction errors due to inaccurate template waveforms'' (with Curt Cutler).
Jun 20, 2006. In the Italian electronic press: an interview in ParmaDaily.it.
Mar 15, 2007. New preprint: ``Use and Abuse of the Fisher Information Matrix in the Assessment of Gravitational-Wave Parameter-Estimation Prospects'' (I must say, a supersoigné piece of work).
