She works on data-driven solutions to problems that span from the nature of explosions in the sky to delays in the justice system. She studies lightcurves, time series of light, in astronomy to understand stellar evolution and cosmology, and in the urban environment at the Urban Observatory, where the study of urban lightcurves enables sociological, ecologic, economic inference.
She is Deputy Project Scientist for Rubin Observatory, the largest ground-based optical astrophysical facility ever built which in 2025 will start a 10-year survey of the southern hemisphere sky destined to deliver the largest database of astrophysical object and phenomena to date, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. She is TED 2019 fellow. Watch her 2019 TED talk!
I am the LSST Science Collaborations Coordinator: in this role I facilitate the work of the international science community in preparing for the advent of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope revolutionary survey, which will take a movie of the entire southern hemisphere sky every three nights down to 24th magnitude depth, delivering tens of Tb of data per night! I am also the co-chair, together with Rachel Street, of the LSST Transients and Variable Stars Collaboration: a group of over 200 scientists who are preparing to optimally use the LSST survey for transient science, and to assure that the survey design is suitable to support the study of the transient sky.

I started boxing in 2010, competing in 2012 and since 2015 I fight professionally. I fight at bantamweight (super fly to super bantam), my record is 4-1 (2KOs). Below are some podcasts, videos, blogposts, and articles about my boxing, and my double life as a scientist and a professional fighter. For more info follow me on IG and like my Facebook athlete's page.
My career in boxing was featured in a Nature/NatureJobs article about scientist’s hobbies. The first paragraph names me, together with Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman - no less!
Notable Undercards
The night of the first GGG-Canelo fight I fought Marcia Aggropino in RI (CES Promotions) - on a night packed with fights our fights was chosen as one of the top three "Notable Undercards" Gruelling Truth.
Girlboxing
Back when I had my pro debut Melissa Smith (author of "A History of Women’s Boxing", 2014, the first and as far as I know only book on the topic...) wrote this blogpost on her women-boxers blog.
