At the ​​​​​​​ eXtreme Gravity Institute (XGI) at MSU I study the impact of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and many of its extensions, either in vacuum or coupled to various types of matter, on astrophysical phenomena. I came to MSU to join one of the oldest gravity-related research groups in the US, whose roots trace back to the late 60’s with the pioneering development of the full Parameterized Post-Newtonian formalism by Kenneth Nordtvedt, Jr. 

Before moving to the ​​​​​XGI, I was invited to spend one winter in  Cosimo Bambi's group  at Fudan University in China, where we did several projects on testing the Kerr black hole hypothesis and one project related to wormholes in alternative theories of gravity with  Diego Rubiera-Garcia .
