The Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF): Radio astronomy projects and my dedicated research activity

Abstract:

I will talk about the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), a public research institute consisting of more than 1,400 people organized into 16 institutes spread from the North to the South of Italy. After an introduction to the diverse activities at INAF within the fields of technology, astronomy, and astrophysics, I will focus on the field of radio astronomyby giving an overview of the Italian infrastructure: three radio telescopes located in Sardinia, Sicily, and Emilia-Romagna, and INAF’s contribution to international projects such as SKA and ALMA. I will conclude by talking about my research experience at INAF, where I dedicate my time to technologies for radio astronomy—an exciting field that bridges cutting-edge engineering with our deepest questions about the universe.
