His main research topics are the physics and astrophysics of compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, which he investigates by means of numerical simulations performed on supercomputers. Together with his collaborators, he has developed some of the most sophisticated codes in numerical relativity and is the author of a well-known textbook in relativistic hydrodynamics. He is member of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHTC), where is acts as a member of the Executive Board. He is the recipient of the Karl Schwarzschild Prize (2017), of the Frankfurt Physics Prize (2019), of the Golden Seal of the University of Bari (2019), of the NSF Diamond Achievement Prize (2019, shared with the EHTC), of the 2020 Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics (2019, shared with the EHTC), of the Einstein Medal (2020, shared with the EHTC), and of the AAS Bruno Rossi Prize (2019, shared with the EHTC), and the PRACE HPC Excellence Award. He is also the Andrews Professor in Astronomy at Trinity College, Dublin and the Claus Wilhelm Fueck Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics. He has also received an ERC Synergy Grant to perform theoretical and observational studies on supermassive black holes and an ERC Advanced Grant to explore the physics and astrophysics of relativistic jets.<\/em><\/p>\n In collaborazione con\/Mit<\/strong>: ESA- ESOC, GSI FAIR, EUMETSAT, J.W.
