Over the past years, the JETSET group has grown through the dedication and passion of its young researchers. Today, we are delighted to celebrate an important milestone: Carlo Musolino has successfully completed his PhD within the ERC JETSET project.
We warmly congratulate Carlo on this achievement and thank him for the curiosity, and collaborative spirit he brought to the group. Reaching this point reflects years of persistence and scientific commitment. He pushed the boundaries of our understanding of relativistic jets and multimessenger astrophysics and contributed to the development of shared codes and ideas.
Carlo’s research focused on the role of neutrino radiation in the post-merger evolution of binary neutron stars. Through long-term general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations, he showed how neutrino transport can support the emergence of magnetically driven, collimated outflows. He also demonstrated that fallback accretion onto merger remnants can power long-lasting high-energy emission, providing a compelling explanation for the extended emission observed in short gamma-ray bursts. His work significantly advanced our understanding of the interplay between neutrinos, magnetic fields, and jet formation in merger remnants.
We wish Carlo continued success and inspiration in the next stage of his scientific journey.
