set
from gravitational wave observations by LIGO: braking index and energy
considerations,
Test of search methods to extract quasi-periodical signals in noise
from
gravitational wave detectors,
Fully optimal filter for ALLEGRO, and
Simulation of a Galactic Population of Gravitational Wave Emitting
Pulsars, and coauthored

simple antenna.
Giovanni earned his B.S. in Physics at
Maharishi University of Management in 1995, his M.S. in Physics at
Louisiana State University in 1999, and his Ph.D. in Physics at
Louisiana State University in 2001 where his activities included
Astrophysics, General Relativity, and LIGO
(Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory).
His Ph.D. dissertation was
