Nicolò Belgiovine obtained his bachelor’s degree in Astronomy in 2021 at the Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy. In the same year he started, at the same institution, the MSc program in Astrophysics and Cosmology, completed in 2025. As of September 20205 he is a Ph.D. student at the Physics Department of the Univ. of Crete under the supervision of Prof. I. Papadakis.
Career :
During his last year of his undergraduate studies he worked on the hierarchical formation of intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters. During his master’s degree he developed an interest in accretion phenomena through X-ray observations and took part in an exchange program at the University of Groningen where he worked on the variability and phase-lags analysis of X-ray photons in low-mass X-ray binaries. His Ph.D. project focuses on the study of X-ray reverberation and time-lags in AGNs.
Interests :
X-ray, AGN, high energy astrophysics, accretion processes, time and phase lags.
