Staff spotlight: Professor Gabriele Travaglini

Professor Travaglini’s research focusses on modern methods to compute relativistic scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity. He has a particular interest in the study of hidden symmetries of the S-matrix of quantum field theories as well as applications of amplitudes to problems in gravitational physics, including gravitational radiation from black holes. 

In addition to his research, he is the module organiser for the MSc module, “Relativistic Waves and Quantum Fields” and has supervised several PhD projects. 

Professor Travaglini is also the Scientific Coordinator for SAGEX, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network funded by the European Commission. He leads the consortium in bringing together 15 academic institutions in Europe and the US, and seven industry partners to support and fund the training of young PhD researchers in the rapidly evolving field of scattering amplitudes.
