Rosalba Perna is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University since 2014, previously holding positions at the University of Colorado Boulder. She earned a Physics degree in Italy and a Ph.D. from Harvard University, followed by postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard and Princeton. Her research focuses on theoretical astrophysics, including high-energy phenomena like gamma-ray bursts, cosmological studies of black holes and dust, exoplanet magnetohydrodynamics, and dynamics of compact object mergers. She has supervised multiple postdoctoral researchers and teaches courses ranging from introductory astronomy to advanced topics like interstellar medium physics. Notably elected as an APS Fellow in 2014, her work bridges computational models with observational data to explore extreme astrophysical environments. Advising efforts include guiding postdocs through complex simulations of neutron star mergers and AGN dynamics, while her research group investigates gravitational lensing and hypervelocity star formation in galactic nuclei.
