A direct connection between Denmark and Switzerland: the NBI Colliderscope visualizes in real-time the particle collisions of the world's largest physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva.

Janggen-Pöhn Scholarship

19.11.2025

I'm happy to announce that my SNSF research project Explore the Memory of Gravity was further awarded a Janggen-Pöhn Scholarship. The Janggen-Pöhn-Foundation supports exceptionally talented young Swiss graduates pursuing advanced scientific training. Established in 1934, the foundation is dedicated exclusively to candidates who demonstrate outstanding ability, strong character, and the potential to make meaningful contributions to society and Switzerland. As such, the foundation's mission is to promote true excellence.

Can Light Remember?

13.11.2025

My research article was published today as Editor's Suggestion in Physical Review Letters. It uncoveres a new mechanism to enhance the memory of light - a potential breakthrough for the first scientific discovery of this phenomenon to open a new observational window onto the universal symmetries of modern physics. You can find more information in this news coverage and the full publication.

Back to the roots

My talk on the observability of gravitational memory with LISA at the Theoretical Tools for Gravitational Wave Physics conference at ETHZ can be found on the event website. More details about the workshop and the CoG coverage can be found here.

Center of Gravity Inauguration

05.09.2025

The Center of Gravity (CoG) is a new Center of Excellence led by Professor Vitor Cardoso at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. CoG is dedicated to build upon the visions of Einstein and Bohr to uncover the fundamental physics of classical and quantum gravity at its extremes, in particular by harnessing the immense potential of gravitational wave science. Such a big investment into the curiosity of humanity by the Danish National Research Foundation is nowadays far from self-evident. I am very excited to be part of this vibrant and thriving collective at the forefront of Europe's fundamental research.

PBS Space Time: Can Space Time Remember?

14.11.2024

Our publication on the detectability of gravitational memory with the future space-based detector LISA inspired PBS Space Time to release a comprehensive outreach video on the topic with currently 370k+ views! Only problem: Our main plot in the first release of the paper has wrong features in it. A mistake which the internet will now remember forever... If you want to learn more about how spacetime can remember, check out the video here.

Jann Zosso joins Strong

07.01.2024

Jann Zosso is awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation Fellowship to join the Strong Group of Prof. Vitor Cardoso at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and advance the field of gravitational physics. Building up on recent work that initiated a new approach of computing and understanding gravitational memory, he will lead the project "explore the memory of gravity" to prepare for a full exploitation of future gravitational wave data streams and provide a new handle to probe our understanding of spacetime.
