About Me

Hello! I am Elena Pinetti, postdoc at Fermilab (USA). My research field is Theoretical Astroparticle Physics. I am interested in Dark Matter searches and Multi-Messenger Astronomy.

I earned my doctorate degree with distinction in a joint-program between the University of Turin (Italy) and Sorbonne University (France). The title of my PhD thesis is “From gamma rays to radio waves: dark matter searches across the spectrum” and focuses on multi-messenger searches of dark matter particles with different wavelengths (gamma rays, X rays, radio waves) in multiple environments (galactic, extragalactic, inter-cluster filaments).

I am a mentor of the Supernova Foundation, an international mentoring program for women in physics. Also, I am the President and Co-founder of Soroptimist Milano Net Lead, a national network of 40 young women focused on female empowerment and education on gender equality.
