Matteo Viel

Matteo Viel is a cosmologist working primarily on constraining fundamental physics by looking at high-redshift structure-formation processes. He received his PhD from the University of Padua, Italy, and moved to the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge, UK, for a postdoctoral appointment. He then became a staff researcher at the National Institute of Astrophysics, Italy, and a full professor at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Italy. He was the head of SISSA’s Astroparticle and Gravitational Physics Group from 2018 to 2022 as well as the PhD-curriculum coordinator. He currently investigates the Universe by running large computer simulations and comparing these with the data provided by surveys like DESI.
