Davide is one of our former BEAR Champions and is no longer at the University of Birmingham.
What is your Academic background and current research field?
I am a Lecturer at the Institute for Gravitational Wave Astronomy. My research field is relativistic astrophysics: I study the impact of Einstein's general relativity on the astrophysical world.
Which BEAR Services have been most helpful to you in your research?
HPC clusters play a major role in current scientific research. I am grateful that the University of Birmingham hosts a facility like BlueBEAR.
How widespread do you think BEAR Services are known in your School and how do you plan to spread the word?
I hope more people could realise that using BlueBEAR is easy. Jobs can be sent there quickly and efficiently and cores are available with very little queuing time.
