Manuela Bischetti serves as a Fixed-term Researcher at the University of Trieste's Department of Physics and the INAF Astronomical Observatory of Trieste (OATs), with dual institutional roles including membership on the Departmental Council and Boards of Studies. She actively contributes to academic instruction as a Radioastronomy lecturer for Master's degree students in Physics, bridging observational astrophysics and theoretical modeling to investigate cosmic evolution processes in the early Universe.
Her academic foundation includes a PhD in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science from Rome University Tor Vergata and a Master's degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics from Sapienza University of Rome, complemented by research experience at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, University of Cambridge. This training underpins her expertise in high-redshift astrophysical phenomena and advanced observational techniques.
Dr. Bischetti's research centers on the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, with particular focus on black-hole driven outflows that suppress star formation by expelling cold gas. Using interferometric data from ALMA and ESO's VLT, she analyzes gas kinematics in distant quasars to distinguish rotational motions from outflows, while investigating galaxy overdensities and the assembly mechanisms of the most massive cosmic structures during the Universe's formative epochs.
She currently leads the "microgrants" project (LR 2/2011), funded by the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia (2023-2025), which examines galactic wind dynamics and black hole feedback processes. Her groundbreaking discoveries regarding the prevalence of powerful black-hole winds in the early Universe—published in Nature and featured in major science outlets—demonstrate how these phenomena regulated the growth of primordial supermassive black holes and their host galaxies.
