Valeria Ferrari is an Italian physicist whose research concerns the theoretical modeling of gravitational waves, and the oscillations in black holes and neutron stars that could cause them. She is a professor of theoretical physics at Sapienza University of Rome.

Education and career

Ferrari was born on 21 March 1952 in Monterotondo, a municipality within the Metropolital City of Rome. She studied physics at Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of Giovanni Vittorio Pallottino, earning a degree in 1976 with the thesis On dispersion phenomena in a gravitational wave antenna.^[1]^[2]

After working as a researcher at Sapienza University from 1977 to 1993, she became an associate professor in 1993, and full professor in 2000.^[1] Her doctoral students at Sapienza University have included M. Alessandra Papa in 1997^[3] and Raffaella Schneider in 2000.^[2]
