Marianna Foschi
Astrophysics Researcher
I’m a postdoc researcher at the California Institute of Technology.
At Caltech, I'm part of Prof. Wu's and Prof. Bouman's research groups in the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy and since 2022 I'm a member of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.
My research focuses on imaging algorithms and data analysis for cosmological and astrophysical observations. I develop and apply statistical and deep learning tools to interferometric radio observations and CMB data analysis.
I obtained my PhD in 2025 from the University of Granada and the Institute for Astrophysics of Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), in the VLBI group, advised by Dr. José L. Gómez and supported by the Doctoral INPhINIT Fellowship from la Caixa Foundation.
