报告题目: Testing the nature of astrophysical black hole
报告人： Cosimo Bambi 复旦大学教授（国家特聘教授）

Astrophysical black hole candidates are thought to be the Kerr black holes predicted in general relativity, but the actual nature of these objects has still to be verified. The study of the properties of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the gas in the accretion disk can potentially test the geometry of the space-time around these bodies and confirm the Kerr black hole paradigm. While some exotic solutions can already be ruled out by current data, it is intrinsically difficult to probe the metric around black hole candidates, because non-Kerr objects may mimic the features of Kerr black holes with different spin parameter.
Cosimo Bambi is currently Professor at the Department of Physics of Fudan University. He received the PhD from Ferrara University (Italy) in 2007. He was a postdoc at Wayne State University (Michigan), at IPMU at University of Tokyo (Japan), in the group of Gia Dvali at LMU Munich (Germany). He moved to Fudan University at the end of 2012 under the Thousand Young Talents Program.
His research interests cover several areas in gravity, cosmology, and high energy astrophysics. He has published more than 50 research papers in refereed journals and 2 review papers. H-index: 21 (INSPIRE).
