Giulia Despali

Junior Assistant Professor at DIFA from February 2023.

I studied and obtained my PhD in Padova, then worked as a postdoc at LAM Marseille, MPA in Munich and the University of Heidelberg.

My research focuses on the nature of dark matter and on the connection between computational astrophysics and observational data. I use numerical simulations to derive predictions and constrains on dark matter models, comparing them with observational probes, such as strong gravitational lensing.
