Massimiliano Rinaldi

Massimiliano Rinaldi is a Lecturer in Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics, University of Trento. His research focuses on gravitational physics, cosmology, and modified gravity theories.

• Research Interests: Cosmological models, black hole thermodynamics, scale-invariant inflation, dark energy and dark matter theories, quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and gravitational wave phenomenology.

Publication Trends: His recent work explores topological black holes, cosmologically coupled black holes, and their implications for pulsar timing arrays and stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds. He investigates scale-invariant inflationary models, vacuum decay in quadratic gravity, and the interplay between Higgs physics and cosmological dynamics.

• Key Topics: Event horizon stability, entropy in acoustic black holes, modified dispersion relations, and self-T-dual brane cosmology.

Notable Contributions: Regular black hole solutions without Cauchy horizons, entropy divergences in Bose-Einstein condensates, and dark energy models with nonminimal derivative couplings.
