Teresa Montaruli (born 1968)[1] is an Italian astronomer specializing in neutrino astronomy, and in particular in the search for high-energy neutrinos from cosmic sources. She is a professor in the particle physics department at the University of Geneva.[2]
Montaruli is originally from Livorno in Italy, where she was born on 4 October 1968. She earned a laurea in physics at the University of Bari in 1993, a diploma from the University of Bologna in 1994, and a Ph.D. from the University of Bari in 1998. Her dissertation, Atmospheric neutrino flux and search for astrophysical neutrinos: Measurement with MACRO at Gran Sasso, was jointly supervised by C. De Marzo, Francesco Ronga, and Giuseppe Battistoni.[1]
She remained at Bari as a research associate and assistant professor before going on leave in 2005 to visit the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she became an assistant professor in 2006, an associate professor in 2007, and a full professor in 2010.[1] In 2011 she took her present position at the University of Geneva.[3]
