Recent Progress on Gravity Tests: Challenges and Future Perspectives

Cosimo Bambi is currently Xie Xide Junior Chair Professor at the Department of Physics at Fudan University (Shanghai, China). He received the Laurea degree from Florence University in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree from Ferrara University in 2007. He was appointed as Postdoc at Wayne State University (Michigan), IPMU/The University of Tokyo (Japan), and at LMU Munich (Germany). He joined Fudan University at the end of 2012 under the 1000 Young Talents Program. His main research interests focus on black holes and observational tests of gravity models. He has published more than 200 papers on high impact factor refereed journals as first or corresponding author and has over 10,000 citations. He has published with Springer several books, either as Author or as Editor.

Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño is an associate research scholar at the Gravity Initiative at Princeton University. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2021. As a theoretical astrophysicist, Alejandro studies observational signatures of Einstein’s theory of general relativity from astrophysical phenomena across the gravitational and electromagnetic spectra.
