Brynmor Haskell is an Associate Professor at University of Milan working mainly on superfluidity in neutron stars and on continuous gravitational wave emission.
He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Southampton (UK) in 2006. He then remained in Southampton as a postdoctoral researcher, before moving the the University of Amsterdam as a Marie Skłodowska Curie fellow in 2010. In 2012 he was a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Golm (Germany) and then from 2013 to 2016 he was a DECRA fellow funded by the Australian Research Council at the University of Melbourne. In 2016 he moved to the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (Poland) on a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowship, following which he became an institute professor. Since 2024 he is Associate Professor at the Department of Physics in Milan.
Brynmor Haskell is part of the LIGO Virgo KAGRA (LVK) collaboration, as part of the Virgo experiment, devoted to the detection and analysis of gravitational waves, and is involved in the work of the design and study team of the Einstein Telescope (ET).
His work in Milan focuses mainly on the theoretical modelling of neutron star interiors, with particular attention to a theoretical understanding the hydrodynamics of the superfluid in the star, and models of gravitational wave emission.
Currently, Prof. Haskell supervises a Ph.D. student in cotutelle with the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain, Maria Antonia Ferrer Martinez. His previous Ph.D. students at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Institute in Warsaw were Dr. Ankan Sur, Dr. Lorenzo Gavassino and Dr. Vadym Khomenko. He also coordinated the post-doctoral fellowships of Dr. Raj Kishor Joshi, Dr. Giovanni Camelio, Dr. Marco Antonelli, and Dr. Danai Antonopoulou.
