Alessandra Buonanno (born 1968)[1] is an Italian-American theoretical physicist and director at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute)[2] in Potsdam. She is the head of the "Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity" department.[3] She holds a research professorship[4] at the University of Maryland, College Park, and honorary professorships at the Humboldt University in Berlin,[5] and the University of Potsdam.[6] She is a leading member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration,[7] which observed gravitational waves from a binary black-hole merger in 2015.[8]
