Daniela D. Doneva

Daniela D. Doneva is a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Tübingen leading an Emmy Noether Research Group dedicated to studying gravitational waves from compact objects as probes of strong gravity and nuclear matter at extreme densities.

Her research focuses on theoretical frameworks for modified gravity theories, with emphasis on gravitational wave signatures from neutron stars and black holes. Key interests include:

• Testing fundamental physics in strong-field regimes
• Nuclear equation of state at supranuclear densities
• Alternative gravity models beyond General Relativity

Major recognitions include:

• DFG Emmy Noether Research Group award
• Membership in the Max Planck Society's Elisabeth-Schiemann-Kolleg since 2021

Her independent research group operates at the University of Tübingen, developing gravitational wave analysis techniques to constrain both astrophysical and theoretical parameters under extreme conditions.
