Scholar-generated biography
Antonella Palmese is a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University with a focus on cosmology and gravitational waves. Her work explores the intersection of these fields, particularly through the analysis of gravitational-wave standard sirens and their implications for measuring the Hubble constant. She contributes to large-scale cosmological surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES), where she investigates cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering, weak lensing, and cosmic shear. Her research also includes the study of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events, such as the binary neutron star merger GW170817, and the development of instruments like the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). Additionally, she examines cosmological tensions and anomalies, including the Hubble constant discrepancy, and explores the role of fundamental physics in addressing these challenges.
