Lorenzo Pierini

Lorenzo Pierini is a Researcher affiliated with the Department of Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS) at ETH Zurich. His primary role is within the Professorship for Weather and Climate Risks, though his research focuses on theoretical physics and astrophysical phenomena. He holds a doctoral degree (PhD) as indicated by the 'Dr.' title in his professional profile. His research interests are centered on gravitational theories, particularly Einstein-dilaton Gauss-Bonnet gravity, and the study of quasinormal modes in black hole dynamics.

Recent work includes investigations into quasinormal modes of rotating black holes under modified gravity frameworks, with publications in 2021, 2022, and 2023. These studies explore perturbative approaches to understanding black hole behavior under varying rotational parameters. Pierini’s research bridges high-energy physics and astrophysical observations, contributing to the theoretical foundations of gravitational wave astronomy.
