Hello, my name is Grégoire and I’m working at the company Gooch&Housego in Ilminster (England). I come from Paris, where I spent and enjoyed most of my 23 years of life. I am quite sedentary, so it was kind of a step to go from a capital to this little town – but the opportunities […]
Omar de Varona
Hi, I’m Omar from Spain. I studied Telecommunication Engineering on Gran Canaria, my home, and started to focus on optics and photonics during my diploma thesis. Since January 2016 I have been fortunate enough to be one of the 14 Early Stage Researchers selected to work in the GraWIToN Project, developing my career as a researcher […]
Internet Festival @Pisa
From the 6th to the 9th of October it’s been the Internet Festival in Pisa and we (the local GraWIToNs) went there to explain what is Virgo experiment and what gravitational waves are. Since the event started on Thursday, the first days we were completely focused attending schools ranging from children to teenagers since […]
Gang Wang
Hello! My name is Gang Wang, and I come from China. I was recruited in the GraWIToN project for the study of data analysis of gravitational waves, at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Italy. Before I joined in the GraWIToN project, I worked in an astronomical observatory as an engineer for 3 […]
Rudy NAHED
Hi! My name is Rudy, I am ESR #2 in the GraWIToN program, and I am from a small country in the Middle East called Lebanon. This is my first time studying outside my home country and so far, I think everything is great. I am hosted by a French company called BOOSTEC in collaboration […]
Jose M
Hi! I’m Jose, and I live and work in Pisa. Culturally, there are not many differences between my home country (Spain) and Italy, but even so many things have surprised and puzzled me. One of the things that surprised me a lot was the disbelief of the local people when I tell them that […]

What defines a person ? Their job, personality, political views, what music they like,some pigment in the skin or the lack of that pigment, what their forefathers did, who is their imaginary friend ? What if we strip away all these things from them, then what is left? How can we define ourselves without citations, absolutely. Defining […]
Zeno Tornasi
Alright, I’m Zeno! I took up my GraWIToN position at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in January 2015. My job is to find out how to build perfect mirrors. So much for my work, which only fills my days since when I wake up (this varies a lot) to midnight or so. In the time […]
Daniel Töyrä
Hey, I’m Daniel and I’m a gravitational wave physics PhD student at the University of Birmingham, UK. My main research interest is to optimising and improving gravitational wave observatories by building and investigating computer models of these huge interferometers. As the rest of us in GraWIToN (one exception though), I’m not from the country I’m […]
