Biography
Senatore initially studied aerospace engineering, before earning a Laurea in Theoretical Physics from the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa in 2003.[2] He continued his studies at the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics, earning a Ph.D. in 2006 under the supervision of Nima Arkani-Hamed and Alan Guth.[3] He then held joint postdoctoral positions at Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Study.[4][5]
Senatore's research focuses on theoretical cosmology.[6] Some of his contributions have included work applying effective field theory techniques to cosmology, theoretical insights regarding inflation, and his studies of large-scale structure in the universe.[1] He has also worked on analysis of data from experiments like WMAP, which studied the cosmic microwave background, and connections of string theory to cosmology.[4]
Senatore won an Early Career Award from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2012 for his work, as well as a New Horizons in Physics Prize in 2016 "for outstanding contributions to theoretical cosmology."[7][8]
